[Sigia-l] Taxonomy/Classification IA and Enterprise IA

[John O'Donovan]

As I said, their words...

As you say the biggest problem often is the camps - incompatible proprietary
formats are the very curse of the broadcast industry and many others.

Features of formats are also very important and a key driver to the client /
consumer as well as compatibility.

Cheers,

jod
