[UCR] The Use Case previously known as publication

Specific comments on the new text for Use Case 2.10:

The word "intensional" is being used in a way that I am unfamiliar 
with.  The text seems to imply that intensional == implicit (which is 
isn't), and is contrasted with "factual" which is equated with 
"extensional" (which it also isn't).  The text also seems to imply that 
e.g. "Every science fiction movie is a movie" is implicit and 
intensional - but the mere fact of saying it makes it explicit, so I'm 
really not sure what you mean.

Unless I'm missing something, this does not correspond to any meaning I 
know, or can find, of intensional (or extensional, for that matter).  I 
don't think "intensional" or "implicit" is what you want here, so I 
suggest not confusing a reader with obscure terminology that is used 
incorrectly. 

I realize "intensional" is a fairly slippery concept, and I don't want 
to get the WG bogged down in defining it.

To be constructive, how about something like, "Publishing rules for 
interlinked metadata"
