> The {{org.apache.sis.metadata}} package contains a package-private {{PropertyDescriptor}} class, which currently implements {{org.opengis.parameter.ParameterDescriptor}}. The later is not really appropriate since metadata are not parameters. A better choice would be {{ExtendedElementInformation}} from {{org.opengis.metadata}}.
> In theory, {{ExtendedElementInformation}} is only for extension to the ISO 19115 standard. However, its API appears to be also suitable as a reflection API for ISO 19115 itself.
> While the package-private class is not directly exposed to users, the interface implemented by this class is accessible by users. So the choice of {{ParameterDescriptor}} / {{ExtendedElementInformation}} is significant.
