definition of "meta"

[Roy Tennant]

This question is actually more appropriate for the Dublin Core mailing
list, information for which is available at:
http://purl.oclc.org/metadata/dublin_core/mailing.html . But the page at
http://purl.oclc.org/metadata/dublin_core/projects.html may lead to enough
example projects to answer the question. Thanks,
Roy Tennant
