<h2 id="overview">Vocabulary Overview</h2>
-<p>ADMS is intended as a model that facilitates federation and co-operation. It is not the primary
-intention that repository publishers redesign or convert their current systems and data to
-conform to ADMS, rather that ADMS can act as a common layer among repositories that
-want to exchange data. On the other hand, there is nothing prohibiting developers of new repositories, or publishers of
-existing repositories if they so desire, to build systems that allow the creation and maintenance
-of asset descriptions in an ADMS-compliant format.</p>
-<p>Like DCAT, ADMS has the concepts of a repository (catalog), assets within the repository
-that are often conceptual in nature, and then accessible realizations of those assets, known
-as distributions. An asset may have multiple distributions. As an example, a W3C namespace document
-can be considered to be a Semantic Asset that is available in multiple distributions, typically one
-or more machine processable versions and one in HTML for human consuption.</p>
-<p>The model described in this document is, as much as possible, technology-neutral so it can be
-implemented using different technologies. W3C maintains RDF (@@@and XML@@@) schemas at
-<a href="http://www.w3.org/ns/adms">http://www.w3.org/ns/adms</a>.</p>
-<p class="editorsnote">An XML schema exists and is published on the EC's Joinup platform, however it includes
-all the controlled vocabularies and cardinality constraints associated with the original document. A
-simpler version more in line with the RDF schema will be needed if the GLD WG is to maintain both the RDF and XML schemas.</p>
