Use of "Levels of Description" between Chapter 1 and Chapter 9 #88

Closed mfeustle closed 1 month ago

mfeustle commented 1 year ago

Chapter 1 and chapter 9 seem to use "levels" in two different ways, in talking hierarchical description and defining tiers of required/optional detail. Chapter 1 leans more toward hierarchical descriptive levels (while talking about degrees of detail), while Chapter 9 applies it to the tiers of detail (minimum, added value).

DACS chapter 1: Levels of Description DACS chapter 9: Levels of Description

This should be a minor fix of clarifying the wording in Chapter 9 to avoid a conflicting use of "Levels of Description."
