We are on a path that appears to allow to reduce the scope of this effort to the development of a single schema specification.
If this is true, we should remove the complexity associated with the "ontology" parts.
From my POV, we would need to show that the developed schema can be imported into a derived schema, and employed in a customized version for a more narrow use case.
A candidate use case could be the specification of a study-specific eCR (electronic case report) -- which may contain particular metadata, in a particular form/terminology, and associated files in a particular format and naming scheme.
