We've certainly come a long way since Dublin Core and IMS LRM. They were 
free. IEEE LOM will cost you about $100 (though if you Google you'll 
find the final draft for free).   What's published so far of ISO MLR 
costs from CHF 98 - 170  per part, so for 10 parts that's well over 
US$1,000 just to see whether it's useful.  Or is there an open access 
copy somewhere?
