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.
