Hello Ruben, all,

as you said below, in some formats like EXIF there is no separation 
between "historic" and metadata of the resource, and in others there is. 
Again I think we need to decide: how many details do we want to take 
into account? I think for metadata interoperability, the EXIF+others 
approach from the metadata WG is sufficient. What do you think?

Felix
