Currently there are three configuration files for data types:
UserTypes - types that the user may provide in uploaded data files
DataTypes - types that are data to be put into the DSG files
MetadataTypes - types that are metadata to be put into the DSG files.
Most of the UserTypes also appear in DataTypes or MetadataTypes, so there is lots of duplication - not a good thing. Instead there should be on config file for the types and in the specification indicate which of these categories apply (just user, user and data, user and metadata, just data, just metadata - although this last one is highly unlikely).
Not a high priority, but would make life easier and reduce configuration bugs.
