I'm not sure what level of metadata you are talking about here... 
collecting a description of the study, the authors, the coding, etc. 
should all be public in the codebook for the study... if it is not then 
the study probably wouldn't be useful to others in any case.  perhaps I 
am on the wrong track here?
