One of the issues that I see with metadata is the same problem
that occurs in library catalogue systems. In order to make
searches meaningful, we need standard metadata categories and
values. As soon as we set a standard, some will find it difficult to
work with because it does not match the terminology that they are
used to working with.
Like libraries, we will need learning object librarians who can apply
the cataloguing rules and help formulate the searches.
