pending changes to resource metadata

[Tony Linde]

Hi Ray,

> 1.  ResourceKey will be a required component of Identifier 

But can be blank for Authority resource.

> 4.  "SkyService" will be renamed to "SiderealDataService"

That was a joke!! Let's stick with either SkyService or SkyNodeService.

Cheers,
Tony.
