Wow. I cannot believe how hilariously overboard this scholarly archive has gone with its metadata. (Link is to an example, not the front page, so you can appreciate the full glory.)

I’m not sure what you mean by meta-data, there, Andromeda. From what I can tell, it’s repackaging the same metadata (author, date, title, etc.) in a variety of formats. And though I didn’t recognize most of those formats, the ones I do recognize (HTML citation, ASCII citation, BiBTeX, EndNote) seem like commonly used citation formats or citation/reference-management software. There are a lot of systems out there for handling references and citations, and it seems nice of them to pre-package the meta-data in as many of these formats as they do…
