element: metadata

metadata

Used to describe every action that creates, modifies or deletes some or all of a dictionary. It should be automatically computable, so a dictionary can be rebuilt.

Under intense development.

This is a very flexible element. It may contain:

• records of updates (e.g. from blacklists)
• records of queries (e.g. from SPARQL)
• translations from other sources

The type attribute should indicate the (single) action in each metadata element.
