Sarah-Jane SaravaniDEANZ 2006 Conference
AUT, Auckland3 July, 2006
Introduction
• How is metadata saving the digital world from descending into yet more unimaginable chaos?
• How one institution faced the challenge of bringing sanity to the madness of flexible delivery.
• Who were identified as saviours in this scenario?
Beginning with the Inferno
“Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy.

And Ending with Paradiso
“Here vigour failed the lofty fantasy:
But now was turning my desire and will,
Even as a wheel that equally is moved,
The Love which moves the sun and the other stars.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy.
