discussion of the Creative Commons Metadata work

[Lorenzo De Tomasi <detomasi.liste AT libero.it>]

For my thesis I'm working on an extended version of Xmp and DublinCore
Metadata that describes any type of resources with more accuracy. I'm
developing it to permit to find resources on the web with more probability
of success, with special care for p2p nets and services like
http://wwww.savannah.gnu.org or http://www.sourceforge.net
If you are interested I can send you my work when it's finished (or now if
you prefer) so we can discuss it and, if you want, you can help me
implementing it.

Thank you for the attention.
(I'm sorry for my bad English)

PS: obviosly if you want to know more about existing metadata descriptions
reccomandations, like Xmp or Dcm, you can freely ask me :). I have got a lot
of experience in my research for the thesis.
