In those cases, for example bqs, where the object of the reference is
indeterminate or not of interest, it would be helpful to be able to
filter metadata without having to have knowledge of the values (in
this case reference URI schemes or identifiers) to determine the type
of metadata property you are dealing with.

Are you suggesting every processor of SBML metadata need to iterate
over all isDescribedBy predicates and evaluate the objects of these
and reverse engineer these back into some knowledge of what kind of
description this is?
