Interoperability needs to be motivated by service requirements, not fetishized as an end it itself.

oops... I meant to add a URL to my last comment. I cannot immediately see a way of editing comments so here is another.

The URL for the note on Calames is:

To be honest, I suggested this 'idea' largely in reaction to the 'consistency' theme in the earlier 'ideas'.

If I were worried about consistency of metadata, I would worry less about standards, guidelines, etc, and explore the idea of some robust network-level metadata creation tools. These would have a double advantage: support consistency and support aggregation.

For an example, maybe from a domain on the margins of this discussion, see my note on Calames, the French resource for archival finding aids.
