Comments:		Record-level metadata applies to a specific concrete encoding/serialization of knowledge (e.g as a record in a specific database, or an online digital resource). A RecordMetadata object can capture provenance and other metadata, including when, how, and by whom a specific record was generated or modified; what upstream resources it was derived/retrieved from; and record-level administrative information such as versioning and system / lifecycle status.
