AB: Mission data catalogs are typically built with the specific mission in mind. This can create challenges when trying to abstract the metadata to make it useful to other researchers. The deluge of data from new missions such as STEREO and Hinode have brought in not only issues in scale, but also complexities due to the difference in these new experiments in the context of existing norms. We will discuss issues and use cases to be considered in designing a mission's data systems in order to better serve the Heliospheric community.
