Metadata Updates

Given our frequent complaints about incorrect metadata, would anyone like to have a guess at how many meta-updates I've received since I installed Logos in November 2009?

Not even close. [:)]

284? 86 - final answer.

There's a metadata table which contains a notice of every update. Since November 2009 there are 1,628 entries spread over 84 different batches! For example, the entire Hermeneia series had a metadata update just
three days ago. Unfortunately there's no way of telling what the update is. When Logos requests a metadata update, the server sends all the metadata for that resource through, not just the correction. A metadata update looks like this:
