Class for generic metadata (i.e. not specific to, e.g. databases).

Relevant subset of generic metadata tags taken from Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) terms (20th Jan 2020) with the addition of dateLastEdited, version, notes, and metametadata dateFormat.

Note that dates are stored as java.util.GregorianCalendar objects, not DCMI ISO 8601 strings
