Sergio, I'm hoping the conversations and interest around #metadataquality hashtag: https://twitter.com/hashtag/metadataquality help to move forward some of these conversations from well constructed research projects and academic papers to something that more of us can implement locally in our systems. There are many different ways that we could look at some of these problems and I think having more of us sharing our ideas and possibly code will be great.
