The use of the term "metadata hash" in AQP 1.1 is confusing #3

Open rht opened 2 years ago

The verification hash is composed of hash_sum(content_hash + metadata_hash + signature_hash + witness_hash). With metadata_hash defined as domain_id + time_stamp + previous_verification_hash. It doesn't make sense to group those 3 as the metadata of a revision, whereas a signature, or a witness detail of a revision could also be considered as metadata as well.

The term "metadata" should be used to describe all of them.
