Detailed description	Metadata outputs will be written into repository as basis for proving chain of handling, provenance and authenticity. They must be: valid (to schema) complete (contains all expected fields) accurate (correct transformation from log files)
Issue champion	n/a - shelved
Possible approaches	validate XML files against schemas - if necessary, correct problems in the serialisation define metadata templates which reflect the local application profile - compare outputs against templates and report errors based on log file checks (see below) check expected log files and parse to extract specific components and check against the transformed outputs
