I'm trying to work out if Piggy Bank allows me to add metadata to a
website (or at least to the Piggy Bank data that is saved for a website).

I really like metadata, but sometimes I know more about a website than is
published in its own metadata, either because the author simply didn't put
it in, or because it's information that only I know, or it's information
that only I care about.

For example, let's say that I know two websites are related, but neither
of them have any RDF data that indicates as much.  Could I add the data to
Piggy Bank's repository on my system?

I realise there are possibly two steps involved: the creation of the
metadata (which I expect may be outside of the scope of what Piggy Bank
does), and the storage of the metadata.

Perhaps a screen scraper could ask the user for metadata directly, rather
than scraping it from the page?

Can Piggy Bank also look up metadata in a third-party repository?
Metadata doesn't have to actually be embedded into the page itself, but
could theoretically be sprawled out across the web, right?

Regards, Msquared...
