Method for assisting in automated conversion of data and associated metadata

TLDR
In this article, the authors propose a semi-automated method for the transformation or reconciliation of metadata from one form into another, which includes identifying data elements and their associated metadata in electronic file(s), transforming this metadata into an intermediate metadata format for later use in production of new metadata structure(s).
Abstract
An exemplary method for the automated, or semi-automated, conversion or reconciliation of metadata from one form into another, includes one or more of: a) identifying data elements and their associated metadata in electronic file(s); b) transforming this metadata into an intermediate metadata format for later use in production of new metadata structure(s); c) developing bodies of re-usable rules for the transformation or mapping of data sets encoded using one set of metadata into another data set encoded using a different set of metadata; d) developing bodies of re-usable metadata sets and rules for the transformation or mapping of metadata into an intermediate metadata structure; e) developing of bodies of re-usable metadata sets and rules for the transformation or mapping of metadata of an intermediate metadata structure into new metadata structure(s); and f) an efficient method for capture of conversion and validation rules.
