Hi Kevin, I saw a post you made to the ldp-meta list. Are you planning to use the Open Source Metadata Framework (OMF)? This stuff looks pretty interesting, and potentially useful. Does it require the creation of a separate OMF entry for each doc to be catalogued? If so, do have a means to automate the process for DocBook? Since I package some docbook xml stuff for debian, I'm interested in how we might make use of the OMF without increasing the workload.

Sounds like a major undertaking. > I look forward to hearing from you. Ditto.
