For sure. I tend to discount traditional metadata a bit, in order to
emphasize that there's lots of kinds of valuable data about data, and lots
of it we can derive and encourage. But I'd love to see wiki type editing
and just nicer more intuitive editors of more structured metadata, along
with much nicer tools to collect metadata when data is being gathered. And
of course if you can get a top down requirement for people to make good
metadata - attach it to funding, etc., then that's great too. The more
metadata the better, but lack of good metadata should not prevent anyone
from putting real data out there.
