greetings jim, yvette, luciana and simon(hi simon, it's been a long time
1999?)

you have all worked on digital archives and archiving. i imagine this means
the amassing of resources into one archive, in one physical location,
accessible via search functions which are only as good as the metadata they
contain.

what problems have you come up against in embedding the right kind of
metadata for this evolving field? (big question but maybe just one problem
each)

also what are the pros and cons of GRID based databases where digitised
holdings are at very many different locations(ie no centralised single
database), but they can all be searched and directly accessed at any
location via search engine software?

cheers
