Our mission is to create a first prototype of the Metadata-Hub, an independent piece of software that intelligently crawls large file systems in order to gain and store metadata about the files it finds. An intelligent algorithm continuously traverses the file system and collects interesting metadata. This metadata is stored in a designated metadata store, thereby generating an easy-to-access and persistent index of the whole file system. Finally, existing end-user applications will be able to query and consume the collected metadata.
