Upgrading metadataIdentifier and parentMetadataIdentifier about mdjson-schemas HOT 5 CLOSED

In making this recommendation I made a few assumptions we should review be implementing:

• I changed "parentMetadataIdentifier" to "parentMetadata" which not only better matches naming for 19115-1 (which is not really important) but parent metadata is now a citation not an identifier. As a citation identifier is not required.
• I removed authority (citation) from "metadataIdentifier". I thought these citation fields would overlap with similar "metadataInfo" section fields and cause confusion. This is just an identifier for the metadata record.
• I also removed authority from the identifier section of "parentMetadata". Seems like a citation inside a citation to identify the metadata record for a parent work or program was too much. The authority would be describing the entity that created the identifier.

Proposal:

    "metadata": {
        "metadataInfo": {
            "metadataIdentifier": {
                "identifier": "",
                "type": ""
            },
            "parentMetadata": {
                "title": "",
                "date": [
                    {
                        "date": "0000-00-00",
                        "dateType": ""
                    }
                ],
                "edition": "",
                "responsibleParty": [
                    {
                        "contactId": "",
                        "role": ""
                    }
                ],
                "presentationForm": [""],
                "identifier": [
                    {
                        "identifier": "",
                        "type": ""
                    }
                ],
                "onlineResource": [
                    {
                        "uri": "http://thisisanexample.com",
                        "protocol": "",
                        "name": "",
                        "description": "",
                        "function": ""
                    }
                ]
            },
            "metadataScope": [""],

I agree with the naming change. I also agree that removing authority is
probably a good idea as it seems to add verbosity and circular references
that I'm not sure adds much value.

I'm fine with this. Note, that the schema will still allow the "authority" sections.

Can we close this?

I think so. It's implemented in the translator and schema.
