[DDI-users] [MT] Implementable representations / roundtrip of DDI data/metadata

[Wackerow, Joachim]

I wrote a couple of thoughts on the basis of some conversations in Copenhagen and in the last modelers meeting.

I think the major challenge now is to find the right balance between modeling the reality in a correct way, structuring the model smartly, and producing implementable representations.

DDI data/metadata should be able to use different representations without loss of information. The model itself is one of these representations.

It would be great if the future discussions on design patterns, versioning, review of the model etc. could be done with this background in mind.

Any comments welcome.
