As part of moving from a physical media distribution to a LiveCD and network repo's we have a little issue from the services side of people understanding (expectations) what support and services are available for a given piece of software (be it a package or consolidation).
I would like to get included in the metadata definition a (or some) attribute(s) associated with service delivery. Depending on the intended use of the metadata (ie. end user functionality/management/maintenance vs. development vs. system ) and the ease of maintenance, the information types could be dramatically different. I am going to assume the initial intended use is not end-user related and difficult to maintain so I think initially we would limit to a single attribute. So if we could have a bit of information that communicated where to go and get more detailed information (URL, Vendor Name, Contact Details, or None). If I am wrong on my assumptions, then there are other data types that would be useful for system management and support purposes.
