## Conclusion
I don't think we need a 'metadata proposal' to achieve the goals we're
looking for. The format conventions are already mostly in place; we
just need to formalize them.
That's pretty fair. I'd add that metadata is not really all it's crackedup to be, in an open system like Gemini (or the web). It works finewithin a site or an organization, but it almost never works to depend on"other people's" metadata for anything.
