This paper is obscure but will be found worthwhile by the metadata community. It is essentially a list of issues raised in the Dublin Core metadata architecture. Worth a more general readership (but unlikely to get one) is the last section. The author writes, "It is important to remember that there are two kinds of schemas - syntactic and semantic. A syntax schema will be associated with a record and will define how the syntax is being used.... A semantic schema defines what classes of resource are being described, which terms are being used and what their semantics are."
