Hi Jan, William, Heather and others,
Just a thought about having governance metadata inside or outside the knowledge 
artifact (e.g. archetype / DCM).
Having that metadata outside the artifact creates the necessity of a 
centralized governance system, and having it inside the artifact doesn't. We 
work in distributed environments where the centralized view doesn't fit. The 
CKM is a proof of that, there is a global instance, an AUS instance and a SWE 
instance, they share some archetypes and others are developed locally.
The 3rd scenario is having the metadata outside the knowledge artifacts, and 
support a distributed governance environment. That is just an open door for 
chaos, because it's impossible to keep track of all artifacts, all 
modifications/versions and statuses, because each governance system will have 
different metadata about the conceptually equal artifacts (they represents the 
same concept).
What do you think?
