Muddiest Point

As I looked through the required readings, I had noticed that there was one article on databases, one on metadata, and one on an example of metadata being put into use. Putting those circumstances into consideration, I think it would seem reasonable that there should have also been an article on one type of a database. Of course, I am aware that the article of the Dublin Core Data Model managed to cover the issue. However, I still believe there should have been one example of popular database program being explained so that we as the readers can get better acquainted with the concept of what a typical database in current use is supposed to resemble. It may even help to have other articles on different examples of database programs. The explanations that they all provide should allow the readers opportunities to make comparisons. As soon as the readers reach to the article about the Dublin Core Data Model, they are able to witness as to whether such a project can wield the potential of being universally embraced. Otherwise, if we are simply to read the article offhand, whatever promises it claims to deliver, we are in a situation where we can only accept the author’s word.
