Re: dwbp-ISSUE-149: How to handle metadata that is embedded in the document? [Best practices document(s)]

I agree, though it might be helpful to mention in the suggested implementation that some work can be saved by using self-describing formats where such things exist for the type of data you have.

However, I am not sure if the choice of how to make the metadata available (embedded or as different file) is in our scope. I think this will depend of the domain of data or data format.

My interpretation of Deirdre's initial observation is that it refers to self-describing data formats. In the scientific computing world, this is pretty common and generally considered a good thing to do, if the format suits the data.
