It is usually mostly blank in most cases (except the name, perhaps an author, the PK, the parentFK) but I may leave a comment in the internal notes field with some explanation to help those who follow. Of course, what constitutes the 'record' will depend on the database schema for which IF is closer to the data warehouse model rather than a fully normalized model.

So is everybody happy with the following:
if a record is deleted then dc:isReplacedBy is set to the LSID of the record that replaces it. If it isn't replaced by anything, it's just deleted because it was entered in error, then isReplacedBy is set to its own LSID
Paul do you blank out the rest of the record?
