Implementation
Focus on implementation issues is increasingly
important:
We need to prove the practical value of metadata
frameworks and 'outline specifications'
It can be difficult for implementers to use these as
a guide to the design of real systems?
We need to move from the conceptual to the
practical, need to move beyond proof-of-concept
Positive signs:
