Yvan Le Bras questioned
looking at the Alice and Rob points related to “fine” description of “inventory process” and others is something arguing that instead of using a data satandard, it can be more efficient to use a metadata standard (as there is one particularly of interest in our fields, EML once again) as this is de facto more flexible / modular. Moreover, it appears to me the “cost” of using a metadata standard approach instead of a data standard approach is particularly on the reuse, because it oblige reusers to take time understanding the datafile (s) to combine it with another datafile (s). What do you think about this “data standard” vs “metadata standard” positioning ?
