for a good real-world implementation, check out the dspace project,

a similar scheme in lenya.
All I'd like to see with regard to the Lenya metadata handling is a
lightweight abstraction layer providing for a flexible binding of keys
that must be considered mandatory for the core usecases to function to
whatever datatypes (n-dimensional, take rdf tripples for instance) an
integrator might choose to describe her resources - on publication
level, sourcetype level and even on resource level.
With regard to managing metadata; I'd consider metadata being just
another sourcetype. GUI bindings/editing of that data should be schema
driven as "regular" xml resources are too. I don't think a refinement
approach of otherwise hardwired 1-dimensional datatypes will lead to a
decent solution.
That's a very interesting idea, and shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Using resource types for meta data could even reduce the complexity
of the code base, since the validation functionality can be reused.
Thanks for the input!
