Re: [new use case suggestion] Use Case - Digital imaging lifecycle

Hello Victor, all,

I agree that such a distinction is possible. I am not sure if it is 
relevant for our Working Group, since our main task is to provide 
interoperability between metadata formats - to a certain extend. We have 
to make a tradeoff between detailedness of abstraction and complexity. I 
think for the task of interoperability between formats, it would be 
sufficient to not make the distinction you describe. I might be wrong, 
but it would be great to see examples of approaches towards 
interoperability, like the metadata working group one, which prove me 
wrong. This is a chicken and egg problem, but I am worried that we take 
too much on our plate and go too far away from existing pratice.
