Description
Currently SystemMetadata stores ObjectFormat for every document, which includes subfields. This information is redundant (and possibly conflicting) with what is in the Object Format service, which is canonical and would need to be checked anyways to be sure people didn't provide erroneous data in the object format fields. Thus, it is better to change system metadata to only record the ObjectFormatIdentifier of the object.
As the implementation of getFormat() is cacheing, it should have no performance implications, but should improve the correctness of data and reduce redundancy.
