Metadata documentation

We're getting ready to launch Reporting Services and are looking for a way to
document the business logic and metadata behind the reports. Does reporting
Svc. offer a quick & easy way to do this?You have access to the RDL, which is stored in the database, along with the
other metadata... Perhaps you can write something to do what you wish...
What exactly do you want to do?

I am also interested in metadata documentation and report specification.
Did you find any useful tools, or does anyone else know of any?
