SchemaDiscussion

I propose the following features, please discuss specifics under the following topics:

• TopLevelStructure
• DerivationHistory
• ContentMetadata (metadata part)
• ObsoleteTopicProxyDataModel (other name: perhaps "ExternalDataInterfaces" section...)
• GloballyUniqueIDs (DOI, LSID, etc.)
• EnumeratedValues

Please also comment on the specific topics:

• NEW UBIFDesignRequirements NEW!
• Name for the project/data set metadata part: ContentMetadataSearchingName
• ExtendLanguageWithNeutralAndUnknown
• CompositeDateTypeTypes
• ProtocolIssues
• PublicationRepresentation

(Resolved topics:)

• Name for proxy data section: ObsoleteProxyListsInAllTdwgGbifStandards (Use "ExternalDataInterface")
• ResolvedTopicCommonSchemaSearchingName (name for the common infrastructure parts should be UBIF)
• ResolvedTopicDatasetCapitalization (use Dataset instead of DataSet!)
• ResolvedTopicAttributesLowerOrUpperCase (use all lower case attributes)
