Question from Stefanie of whether we will ever be able to move to non-flat metadata. Example of dcterms.publisher and need to use URI, as specified in domain and range. If only providing a string, will need to use dc.publisher rather than dcterms.publisher. Bram suggests could store a URI but would need functionality of human lookup name for that URI, for display. These values would not necessarily reside in the metadata but in some other index.
