The Open Forum conference was in many respects informative and nicely accomplished. As a newcomer into the fields of SC32/WG 2 and TC 37 I had the privilege to get a lot of insight into the work performed by the two groups as well as into different metadata application areas. At the same time some thoughts and issues came to my mind, probably as a result of my data modelling background. Some of them are discussed in the document. The intention is not to criticise but rather to give a view from a perhaps slightly different perspective. Furthermore, please regard the document just as a number of slightly edited notes from the conference listed in arbitrary order.
