[x3d-public] Use of Metadata

[Leonard Daly]

X3D allows all nodes to contain metadata. This can be anything from a 
single value to a large structure. I understand and have seen the use of 
metadata within a model, including the various CAD geometry collection 
nodes. Has anyone used or seen metadata used in other areas of a scene. 
This would include in animation (interpolator nodes), sensor, 
environment, viewpoint/navigation nodes.

If you have used it or seen it used, why was that method used instead of 
a comment or other mechanism?  I am looking for actual uses; not 
potential uses, or uses to illustrate the capability. I would like to 
understand how metadata is used in a 3D scene.
