- Ursula Le Guin

Three Levels of Solution
• Recognising the problem• Techniques within a project• Publishing outside the project.
![Page 5: Authoring: In and Out of the Real World MesMuses 2003 Andy Dingley Codesmiths](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f175503460f94c2e83e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Level of Dependency on Nominals
• None– Static– Flexible
• All– Self-populating
• Some– Worst of both worlds

Need for third-party tools
• Complex problem• Technical expertise• Exceeds project budget
• Need for open standards
![Page 15: Authoring: In and Out of the Real World MesMuses 2003 Andy Dingley Codesmiths](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f175503460f94c2e83e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Limits of Classical Taxonomy
• Poor model of many realities• Chosen because it’s easy to code• Irrelevant to many audiences

Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge(after Borges)
• those that belong to the Emperor
• embalmed ones
• those that are trained
• suckling pigs
• mermaids
• fabulous ones
• stray dogs
• those included in the present classification
• those that tremble as if they were mad
• innumerable ones
• those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush
• others
• those that have just broken a flower vase
• those that from a long way off look like flies

Conclusions
• Metadata is a dialogue, not a monologue.
• Authoring will require shared tools. • Classical taxonomies are
inadequate.We must look to fields outside IT.
