>I have a general inquiry about how folks deal with metadata, file

>I know there are 2 metadata MBXs that utilize MI's metadata feature, but they

>of the MBXs: your utilities are great, just not quite what we are looking
>for). The Table Manager in MI 5.0 allows for the displaying of metadata, but
>you can't add to it. I've checked the list archives and found some info on
>Compass and a GeoBaseMap package of utilities (both from Australia). Anyone
>know about these or know if there is anything else that allows you to easily
>add and view metadata in the TAB? I'm looking for something that would not
>only do traditional metadata, but also allow you to enter notes such as who
>made changes, what they did, and when -- a sort of running history of the
>TAB. This is something that we would do daily or several times a day and it
>would be a bit tedious using the current MBXs.

>The key is a quick, easy interface that is able to attach info about the TAB
>and store it with the TAB. Anyone have some thoughts on this? I'd also be
>interested in hearing other people's methods for organization sans metadata.
