   # general-purpose data classes section -- RecordMetadata, Characteristic
-  # RecordMetadata:
-  #   type: object
-  #   inherits: gks-core:Element
-  #   maturity: draft
-  #   description: >-
-  #     A reusable structure that encapsulates provenance metadata about a serialized data record or
-  #     object in a particular dataset (as opposed to provenance about the real world entity this
-  #     record or object represents).
-  #   $comment: >-
-  #     Record-level metadata applies to a specific concrete encoding/serialization of information
-  #     (e.g as a record in a specific data/knowlegebase, or an online digital resource).
-  #     A RecordMetadata object can capture when, how, and by whom a specific record serialization was
-  #     generated or modified; what upstream resources it was derived or retrieved from; and record-level
-  #     administrative information such as versioning and lifecycle status. RecordMetadata objects should
-  #     not be used to describe provenance of the abstract information content or knowledge captured in a
-  #     data record or object - other properties in the model are defined to support this use case.
-  #   properties:
-  #     recordIdentifier:
-  #       type: string
-  #       description: >-
-  #         The identifier of the data record or object described in this RecordMetadata object.
-  #     recordVersion:
-  #       type: string
-  #       description: The version number of the record-level artifact the object describes.
-  #     derivedFrom:
-  #       type: string
-  #       description: >-
-  #         Another data record from which the record described here was derived, through a data
-  #         ingest and/or transformation process. Value should be a string representing the identifier
-  #         of the source record.
-  #     dateRecordCreated:
-  #       $ref: "/ga4gh/schema/gks-core/1.x/json/datetime"
