Re: [dwbp] BP Document ready to be reviewed

Hi, Bernadette,

Let me try to explain better my comments.

As the first two BPs are general BPs, they don't talk about specific
metadata types, as for example, License, Provenance, etc.

For the BP "Use machine-readable formats to provide metadata" there are
specializations for different metadata types saying what is SHOULD, MUST,
etc.

For the BP "Document Data" we don´t have these directions in respect of
what a user should consider a BP if it publish a human-readable document.
What the user SHOULD, MUST, etc., put in the metadata document?

If it is the same thing of the "Use machine-readable formats to provide
metadata" specializations we must put this observation in our document. I
am not so sure that the two specializations have always the same directions.

Best Regards,
Laufer
