[Freegis-list] Re: metadata recommendations: protocols?

[Stefan F. Keller]

Some of you seem to know the Z39.50 protocol very good: is'nt
this a rather outdated, clumsy standard?

And instead of inventing "information brokers" again, I would 
suggest to look at Napster-alike protocols and open standard 
developments. Those peer-to-peer concepts are currently a 
hot topic - a sort of alternative or completion to the web!

What do you think about peer-to-peer in catalogueing services?
