Future components/discussions

In addition to the version of Latimer Core explained in the wiki, the Latimer Core Task Group discussed other classes and terms to provide users with ways to describe other aspects of collections in more detail when relevant or possible. These other classes were excluded from the initially proposed version of the standard because they were either not found to be critically necessary for the known needs and use cases, or needed further investigation and definition. If such needs or use cases arise in the future, though, relevant notes are highlighted here.
