structure is a detriment, in my opinion. Many of us will want to update
our data through external processes and there is no easy way to just copy files
into the repository or point to an existing network location. I think
this is going to become a much bigger problem as people put these systems into
production and realize that they have to "load" their data into
repositories. It's also going to be a large problem for keeping data up
to date with ongoing system maintenance. Scheduled process are going to
be a necessity to ensure that the data in the repository is in synch with the
source data. And, in the case of large source datasets, the entire
dataset will have to be reloaded as there is no incremental update method. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
