First Phase
Operators may wish to include metadata about Resources from other sources, including web services (ie, Semantic Analysis), databases, or something else. This describes how to implement a plugin to import this information.
A plugin implements IMetadataImporter, which provides a single method, loadMetadata. loadMetadata takes a Resource, and is responsible for adding any fields to it. loadMetadata is not responsible for persisting the Resource.
Deferred until later
Allow configuration of plug-ins
- enable/disable individual plug-ins
- add additional or custom plug-ins
- alter order in which plug-ins run (to determine which are authoritative)
