If anyone want to go to the mat with Stephen they should really come to grips with the difference between meta-info (an object model specified and implemented under the Avalon Meta package) as opposed to meta-data (an object model specified and implementation as part of the Avalon Composition package). And if they really want to take me out - they should have a good idea of how meta-data combined with meta-info establishes the context for the creation of a manageable and sustainable meta model.
Are your ready?
Why bother?
Because bothering to understand what exists, why it exists, its strengths, weaknesses, features and benefits, is surely a prerequisite for product evolution. It applies across the board. Without that investment how can we assess the integrity of radical versus progressive change?
