Thomas D. Wason and David Wiley : Structured Metadata Spaces
"This paper will present the concepts of a metadata space as it relates to cataloging and
discovery. A space has multiple dimensions; in the case of resource metadata, these are
descriptive dimensions. We will explain the needs for orthogonal descriptive dimensions, and
present a method for achieving maximally efficient, independent dimensions using semantic
structures realized in structured metadata." (pdf)
