  Note that the MetadataSet must conform to the MetadataStructureDefinition associated to the Metadataflow or MetadataProvisionAgreement for which this MetadataSet is an “instance of metadata”. Whilst the model shows the association to the classes of the MetadataStructureDefinition, this is for conceptual purposes to show the link to the MetadataStructureDefinition. In the actual MetadataSet, as exchanged, there must, of course, be a reference to the MetadataStructureDefinition and optionally a Metadataflow or a MetadataProvisionAgreement, but the MetadataStructureDefinition is not necessarily exchanged with the metadata. Note that the MetadataStructureDefinition classes are shown also but are not a part of the MetadataSet itself.

  A MetadataSet comprises a set of //MetadataAttributeValue//s and a set of TargetIdentifiableObjects, which must be part of those specified in the relevant Metadataflow or MetadataProvisionAgreement.
  The MetadataStructureDefinition specifies which MetadataAttributes are expected as //MetadataAttributeValue//s. The TargetIdentifiableObjects point to the //IdentifiableArtefact//s for which the //MetadataAttributeValue//s are reported.
