In fact, the whole landscape around datasets, including also vocabularies for people, places, periods of time, subjects, etc., needs to be better thought through. In the environment of Linked Data, persistent references to a lot of those ‘things’ are needed to be able to link stuff together.

On your ‘onion’ model, I would argue that it is not a layered but rather a modular model. It’s not really that one view is more ‘central’ than the other. Each of your layers are different perspectives of the same thing. You’ll have descriptive metadata (what it is), all kinds of relationships (what it is connected with), provenance metadata (where did it come from, how did it change over time), administrative metadata (how it is managed), preservation metadata (how it is kept over time), structural metadata (how it is organised internally), permissions and obligations, and probably more. These different modules are of interest to different people but together they make up the environment that the dataset operates in.
