     65  Descriptors should be contextualized [[BR]]

     70 Comments/suggestions based on metadata practices: [[BR]]
     71  Too many optional elements [[BR]]
     72   Too many choices given to users [[BR]]
     73   Users bound to take the path of least resistance [[BR]]
     74   Keep the scope restricted to only mandatory elements – at least in the beginning [[BR]]
     75   Try those out. Implement them. [[BR]]
     76  One size fits all ---- No! [[BR]]
     77   Capturing descriptions, formats, policies, transactions, etc. in a monolithic fashion [[BR]]
     78   Register individual components separately [[BR]]
     79   E.g., Capture legal formats & interpretations in their own records, and reference them here   [[BR]]
     80   E.g., Same with accepted policies [[BR]]
     81  Identifiers cannot be semantic [[BR]]
     82    Domain, sub-domain, and object-type are part of an ID [[BR]]
     83    World view changes frequently [[BR]]
     84    Non-semantic Ids are worth every penny [[BR]]
     85    Search engines & registries mask the opaqueness [[BR]]
     86    After all, IDs are just entities behind the scenes [[BR]]
     87  Object Type controlled vocabulary enumerates apples and oranges [[BR]]
     88   Collection, flow, directory, file, database, gui are not mutually exclusive [[BR]]
     89   Doesn’t help the recipient make any decision looking at the descriptor [[BR]]
     90   Bundle type & format into format interpretation method [[BR]]
     91   Covers too many corner cases, e.g., flow-rate [[BR]]
     92   Expects too many details, e.g., locator (type, access method, etc.) [[BR]]
