Resource Meta-Data

Mete-data Requirements
In many cases including the reference archetypes, classification requires the specification of resource meta-data defining the resource class' type and structure.

Mappings
Like before, a reference meta-data definition schema is required and should be specified with mappings to support different “local” meta-data schema.

Meta-data Format
While standard meta-data definition schema are already available (e.g. XML Schema), and since resource meta-data information should also be managed resources to support extensive meta-data management and modeling, the meta-data reference schema should be structured somewhat along the lines of the DNAOS meta-data model, as resources with a predefined archetype and meta-data, as well as adequate entitlement.
