Re: vocabs, metadata set, datasets

Hi Emma,

I saw you had already followed up on our action to clarify "value 
vocabularies".

I saw that you think we should clarify how value vocabularies actually 
appear in metadata records (as literals, codes, identifiers). While I 
kinda feel we should try to stay agnostic to that I kept it in, but 
rewrote it slightly:

"In actual metadata records, the values used can be literals, codes, or 
identifiers (including URIs), as long as these refer to a specific 
concept in a value vocabulary. "

I also moved your point re "closed list" up to the initial definition; 
this is indeed central to what a value vocab is.

Mark.
