Hi Klaus,
Don't get me wrong, the participants we are trying to attract for this
project are people familiar with their field (as mentioned on the
site), experts included of course. But metadata is and will always be
a vast problem that touches everything; many people, technical and non-
technical, need to be involved. We think a wiki is the perfect
platform for sharing and producing a consistent evolving vocabulary.

To often we define expert as "someone who knows so much that they
no
longer need to take input" what is needed is a definition:
"Someone who is constantly changing their criteria for what kind of
input to pay most attention to and can effectively evaluate those
criteria"
Physicists are a good example of experts, who are most of the time
consistently correct in their statements, as I think. There are
internationally installed, accepted and constant protocols for
becoming and being an expert in physics. Fraud is detected in the
long run at least. Its the same in technical disciplines based on
physics. Here we have areas, where there is only a small difference
between theory and practice - again: in the long run at least.
