How about defining metadata properties for the nt:folder/nt:file/nt:resource metadata information: creation time, last modification time, character encoding, content type. For nt:file nodes, this could be deduced from the respective properties while for other nodes it is up to the implementation whether such properties exist or not. Now, this gets long :-) Regards Felix
