Discussion
Do we need this standard?
Any resource requires a standard subset of metadata to specify its identity, presumably an xml document fragment, eg:
<resourceIdentifier>
<name>...</name>
<resourceType>...</resourceType>
<location>
<url>...</url>
...
</location>
</resourceIdentifier>
Should the identifier for a resource simply be a URI with the other stuff above being part of the
ResourceMetadata? --
