---++ Discussion

__Do we need this standard?__

Any resource requires a standard subset of metadata to specify its identity, presumably an xml document fragment, eg:

<verbatim>

<resourceIdentifier>
   <name>...</name>
   <resourceType>...</resourceType>
   <location>
      <url>...</url>
      ...
   </location>
</resourceIdentifier>

</verbatim>
