And as you mention if we try and keep to standards and build on what has been done previously we can go a long way in achieving interoperability and effective sharing and exchange of resources.

If everyone who's creating a profile to describe an object makes sure that they are using international standards, address interoperability and the need to dumb down for harvesting etc, and don't try and do anything too new but build on what's gone before, then we should have the ability to combine, share, repurpose and mashup.
