The META-BASE architecture and workflow. Datasets are downloaded from the original source and transformed into a GDM-compliant format. Metadata are cleaned, mapped into the GCM relational integrated data structure, normalized and enriched with related ontological concepts. The homogenized information is checked for correctness, flattened to a file-based data structure and loaded within the META-BASE repository.
