[Exist-open] Metadata support?

[Andrzej J. T. <an...@ch...>]

Just curious as to the status of metadata support in eXist?

I noticed that it was on the roadmap, but doesn't seem to be very high priority
right now.  Any timelines planned for metadata support?

In the meantime, are there any best practices regarding workarounds on how to
store document metadata in the current eXist implementation?

For example:

   - In a separate document?
   - In a parallel metadata collection?
   - By embedding/appending the metadata in a new element in the original doc?
   - And how to you best relate the original and metadata documents?

Looking for some practical advice from anyone that has done this or considered it.

Thanks!
