Are all metadata attributes equally applicable to a given usage scenario?

What are the risks of using the data in ways that are not approved by the policy defined in the metadata?

What mechanisms exist for the enforcement of that policy? How are these mechanisms different from the mechanisms in earlier examples? What do these differences imply about the risks inherent in misuse?
