The PICS material itself seems very dusty, but ratings came up on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list and the following links were dropped in: http://www.icra.org/vocabulary/ http://www.icra.org/projects/quatro/ The fact that the issue was raised on a list related to Yahoo's media search services does suggest that something like this will be needed in the not-too-distant future.
