An older article, I've just found, is The Information Resources in Arcetri Astrophysics Observatory: Between Metadata and Semantic Web by Roberto Baglioni and Antonella Gasperini, in Library and Information Services in Astronomy IV July 2-5, 2002, Prague, Czech Republic, B. Corbin, E. Bryson, and M. Wolf (eds.)
It is becoming apparent that libraries are going to play a key role in the new W3C's (World Wide Web Consortium) paradigm for the semantic web. For this reason, the Arcetri library is investigating methods for publishing diferent kinds of electronic documents on the net and a way of enriching them with semantic metadata. For the 1st phase, we are focusing on the library catalogue; and, in a second phase, we will consider bibliographies, preprints, technical reports, web pages, archives of astronomical data, and photographic and historical archives.
The observatory also has it own classification scheme.
