Thanks for all your suggestions. I didn't know about the power of
diary-sexps. Thanks to Memnon, I have also learned about the
org-agenda-skip-function which I now have used to construct a solution
that works fine for me:

 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("q" "Agenda and Metadata"
	 ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-subtree-if
						  'regexp ":META:"))))
	  (agenda "" ((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-subtree-if
						  'notregexp ":META:"))(org-agenda-overriding-header "Today's resources (metadata): ")))
	  (tags "MIT")
	  (tags "BIGROCK")))))

I would prefer to have this Agenda View bound to the standard C-aa. Is
that possible? Setting "a" via org-agenda-custom-commands results in an
error at starttime. This keybinding seems to be hard-coded.

Greetings,

Sven
