outside of its local environment." A couple of good intros to the
subject are "Moving Toward Shareable Metadata"

'Quality' Metadata 'Shareable' Metadata? The Implications of Local
Metadata Practices for Federated Collections"
(<a href="http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlevents/shreeves05.pdf" eudora="autourl">
