You might find Don Batory (U. Texas) and his colleagues recent work
interesting [1], especially [2].

That said, this is state-of-the-art work and while it looks like it
has had some very good results, whether its "meaningful" to an
outsider (in the limited sense of applicable to current practice) is
an open question.
