Dear colleagues,
We would like to propose a method for providing metadata about objects in the RIPE Database. This new feature will enable a lot of flexibility to inform users about the state of each object and will help improve the quality of data in the RIPE Database.
It can also provide a mechanism to fine-tune RIPE Database query outputs, which will give users who have less knowledge about address hierarchy, placeholder objects, etc. easier access to the data they are looking for.
You can find more information about this proposal, along with some examples, at:

Please kindly provide us with your feedback.
Kind regards,
Kaveh Ranjbar
RIPE NCC Database Group Manager
