I am definitely in the it’s a good idea camp on this question, and take it a little further to recommend some pretty specific best practices for how that minimum metadata should be encoded

One of the issues discussed at a recent RDA outreach workshop was how people felt about “minimal metadata.”
Some cautioned that it is potentially a bad idea, while a pluratity seemed in favor of it and could point to good outcomes using .
An example provided at the workshop was that of the Dataset Descriptions: HCLS Community Profile discussed by Michel Dumontier (Stanford). The idea here is to:
Develop a guidance note for reusing existing vocabularies to describe datasets with RDF – Mandatory, recommended, optional descriptors – Identifiers – Versioning – Attribution – Provenance – Content summarization * Recommend vocabulary-linked attributes and value sets
see http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/hcls/notes/hcls-dataset/
We were perhaps more uniform on the idea expressed by NIST’s Bob Hanisch that maximum MD causes a problem since people won’t “use it.”
