Many, many more...

But is it sufficient?
Monday, April 15, 13
Organizations will not move away from a legacy system unless the new system:
a) Is demonstrably cheaperb) Is demonstrably more effective in producing results (discovery, use, etc.)c) Will make the organization demonstrably more efficient (staff, management, sales, etc.) ORd) The legacy system becomes entirely non-interoperable with other, more important systems ORe) The legacy system breaks and cannot be repaired
Monday, April 15, 13
Can we say a new metadata management system
based on linked data will be/do one of those things?

What can we learn from IETF?

A good specification is necessary
but it is not sufficient

It is in…. Adop%on (or rather, in its absence)
The point at which most standards fail is not prior to consensus

How can we assure that we are doing the right things?
For everyone?That will save resources?
That will improve services?That will be adopted?
