For example: they are working with several ISBN-like catalogues with slightly different goals, a great number of university libraries, public libraries, private collections, museums, and so on — all working with similar metadata but making the kinds of small variations that are very difficult to detect.
The results highlight the value of the HIVE approach for information management systems seeking to work with multiple vocabularies for metadata generation in an intelligent manner.
These two challenges are addressed by a Metadata Cache that works with an update-on-demand policy and by an information source selection module that selects the most suitable source at a given point in time.
Data owners in locations across the United States have worked with EPA to publish their continuous sensor data and related metadata either through "data appliances" running the open-source 52° North implementation of SOS or using commercial software like Kisters KiWISS product.
This service could also work using metadata provided by curated sources, as previously explained.
