Any Book on MetaData Services ?

Looking for a good book on SQL Server metadata services user guide. Any
idea ?
Thanks
MacI don't know of any commercial books but there is a fair amount of
information right in BooksOnLine under "Meta data".

Our organization would like to make use of sql server repository meta data
for use in our CIM system (following DMTF standards).
I have created a repository database, imported an information model into it,
and am now trying to program using the Meta Data SDK API.
In my view the API is not well documented at all. The documentation
describes the API but offers very very little in the way of examples. Am i
missing something or is there very little in the way of examples to use this
technology.
I also have found virtually no books on the subject matter that can help us.
Any help in this area is greatly appreciatted as there are virtually no
examples on the net either. I wonder if we are on the right track or if this
is so new that nobody has put out information on how to use it.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Server I didn't even know it had a Meta Data SDK. I would have to assume
you are one of the few who chose to use it. That does not mean it is not
useful, just not popular. If you do a search on Google as this:
site:support.microsoft.com meta data sdk
you should see a number of related hits. The first that I see looks the most
promising:
