"... it’s kind of a cool idea, and there are a lot of problems with
current metadata systems. But it seemed more like a thought-experiment
than a real project to me; I don’t think she understood just how freaking
impossible her system would be to implement. For it to really work the way
she imagined, you’d either have to add network-aware code to every
content-authoring and editing program in the world, or somehow convince
people to go to your website and manually update data all the time. Not to
mention the requirement for it to be decentralized would require a whole
bunch of different servers, or some sort of peer-to-peer component on
people’s computers. Even currently popular metadata systems are a mess of
different, incompatible formats, so I don’t see how you’d get people to
standardize on yours..."
