I think this is an interesting insight into good metadata design. If your
looking for another level then
you probably didnt get the original categories just right. Of course this
is brilliant 20/20 hindsight,
so I think we better include some ideas on a dynamic metadata system in
open source spectra.
I am thinking it is ideal when all your content objects are evenly
distributed across metadata categories. . .
