VIAF
VIAF, implemented and hosted by OCLC , is a joint project of several national libraries plus selected regional and trans-national library agencies. The project's goal is to lower the cost and increase the utility of library authority files by matching and linking widely-used authority files and making that information available on the Web. The search box at the top of this page searches a merged view of VIAF derived from the name authority and related bibliographic data of the participating libraries.A card catalog designed to hold all of the songs on my iPod, 7,390 songs. Each song is cataloged on a single card. The cards are organized in reverse chronological order, that is the songs I listened to most recently are in the front of the catalog, and the songs I haven’t listened to in two years exist at the back.

Lorcan Dempsey's weblog: Metadata and Heraclitus
I was very struck a couple of years ago by a comment made by my colleague Eric Hellman. He talked about metadata in terms of rivers and lakes. In the library cataloging model we have had lakes - accumulating stores of data that do not change frequently over time and are fed by a few principal sources. In the ERM/Knowledge Base model we have rivers - stores of data that change frequently as products and services change and which are fed by many streams.
