[Sigia-l] Dublin Core and meta-tag length

[W words]

Here's another example of metatagging standards that the Australian National
Archives office has developed for federal govt bodies:

But as Stig says you'll need to develop your own. Even Australian govt
bodies are developing their own based on these which still meet these
standards.
