I'm very interested in this sort of thing also. I suppose it's off topic for this thread though. Anyway, briefly, my conclusion is the same as yours. All filetypes can be meta tagged the same way technically. then you need a common storage(I've been experimenting with rdf indexing on top of xattrs) and indeed Emacs is ideal for large scale tagging. > > -anders > -- Joakim Verona
