Hi Joe,

regarding the "who" made the change and when:  I would think it makes sense to have the ability to include this information if it were available (analogous to how origin metadata can be included).  However, I don't think this is captured today.  This would be a candidate to add as part of metadata of a datastore itself that would have be specified as part of a separate to-be-developed draft, perhaps called something like "Audit trail metadata for NMDA datastores".  

As part of the nmda-diff draft, I would think  it would be reasonable to include, if the working group agreees, a "design pattern" that indicates how the model can include (possibly by means of extensions) additional metadata items about datatastore nodes as they get defined.
