As several others have mentioned, this is an extremely useful 
contribution, and I look forward to seeing what your group comes up 
with. I can't stress the importance of meta-data enough, so a tool to 
properly manage it is extremely helpful. Also, the fact that you are 
going to keep the format ISO compliant is great, nothing worse than a 
bunch of meta-data that no-one can access/use ;-)

Good luck,

Carson
