Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2404) NEEDS-DISCUSSION:4.2.2.1 manifest.rdf, mandatory or not ?



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2404?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18723#action_18723 ] 

Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-2404:
----------------------------------------

Dennis: I believe you don't mean the 2nd, but the third paragraph. To make clear that each document or sub document has its own manifest.rdf file, I suggest to add to the 3rd paragraph:

All metadata files of a document or sub document shall be listed in a separate metadata manifest file, which has the file name "manifest.rdf". This file enumerates *the* metadata files that are *contained in document or sub document*  and their relationships to other files in an OpenDocument package. See chapter 5. *Each document or sub document shall have its own "metadata.rdf" file.*

The new paragraph in 2.6 should then start with: In addition to metadata files, the "manifest.rdf" file*s*.

Regarding the usage of the unqualified term "metadata". With the exception of the very first sentence, we always either use the term"RDF matadata" or "metadata files". The term metadata is defined a file containing RDF metadata in the second paragraph. So, I think we do not use the term metadata unqualified anywhere.

> 4.2.2.1 says
> "The OpenDocument document contains a metadata manifest,"
> Reading part 3, section 2.6 Metadata
> "A document or sub document that is stored in a package may contain an arbitrary number of metadata files....
> All metadata files of a document or sub document shall be listed in a separate metadata manifest file, which has the file name "manifest.rdf""
> So it seems that it is absolutely required to have a metadata.rdf manifest file, even if there are no RDF metadata files at all ? Is that correct ?
