With the huge amount of spatial data created and updated in short time frames and exchanged frequently over the Web, the demand for updating dataset and metadata in real time to provide users with the most up-to-date, precise, reliable, and complete metadata is increasing dramatically. So far, different metadata-updating approaches have been introduced to the spatial industry of which their issues and challenges have prohibited them from being adopted widely.
