Actors
The actors define how people and teams are represented. See figure 2 for details. Notice that actors are associated with the new metadata that they create and comment on during crowd-source processes.

Collections
Collections provide a general mechanism for grouping resources together for projects or other types of work. See figure 3.

Projects
Projects are used to organize a specific activity. The project is used to control the use of resources and associated costs so they are used appropriately in order to successful achieve the project's goals. The project definition is shown in figure 4.

Communities
Communities are groups of people related by a common interest or skill. People tend to stay in communities for the long term, whilst they are are associated with projects just for the lifetime of the project and then they move on to another. Figure 5 shows the community model linked to the people who are members and the resources that they use.

Feedback
An important principle of good metadata it to be continually capturing the experience of subject matter experts. Figure 6 shows the feedback model that captures comments and ratings from subject matter experts.

Notes
Notes are used by resource owners and stewards to document the current status of their resources. Engines that are performing processing on the resources may also write notes to the note log. Figure 7 shows the notes in a note log. The note log can be attached to any referenceable metadata object.
