Hello Frederik,
I’ve had a look at your diagram; two comments:
– As already noted, the object should not be part of the PID record, but
it should be pointed to. This may simply be described by replacing
“Object” in the top box with “Object pointer” or similar.
– You list a “PIT” entry in the technical metadata section along “size”
as another example. I would see this as a special (and very useful)
interpretation of a PIT: This PIT describes the object as a whole.
During the PIT WG, we interpreted a PIT more widely, and particularly
also referring to all properties (size, …) as PITs (PIT properties).
Now, the problem with this is that the definition of what a PIT exactly
is was not that crystal clear as it should have been, thus the
ambiguity. Aside from working on better definitions, a way to somewhat
dodge the issues may be to simply say “Type:”.
Best, Tobias
