CMDI best practice guide
Goal of this document: giving a good insight in the process of metadata modelling with CMDI.
Some ideas for sections
introduction to CMDI
updated version of http://media.dwds.de/clarin/userguide/text/metadata_CMDI.xhtml ?
how to choose components and profiles
reference to the CmdiRecommendedComponents (list needs to be double-checked and updated)
modelling do's and dont's
information (including examples) about:
- normalisation
- hierarchies, inheritance
- metadata versus data
This section could re-use information from the granularity document

- is there an MdCollectionDisplayName?
- does it contain ResourceProxy elements?
- is there a link to a LandingPage when available?
- is there an indication of the mime type?
- is the file too big to be useful? (> suggest higher granularity)
- sparseness: what about files that hardly contain any information?
- what is the information entropy? (> lots of very similar files might be an indication of a suboptimal modelling)
