- a (fixed) Header, containing administrative information:
- MdCreator: the author of the file
- MdCreationDate: the creation date of this file

- MdCollectionDisplayName: an (optional but recommended) plain text indication to which collection this file belongs. Used for the Collection facet in the VLO
- a (fixed) Resources section, containing links to:
- external files (e.g. an annotation file or a sound recording)
- and/or other CMDI metadata files (to build hierarchies)
- a (flexible) Components section, where the actual components that this profile contains will appear
