That is truly what we need on a global basis. I wish I could figure out a
way to make it happen. We have the beginnings of this stuff like MARC,
Dublin Core, AAF, MXF, BWF, MPEG-7. It's all out there--too much is out
there, actually!
The bad news is there are probably archives putting metadata in all these
formats.
