the expanding need of storage and processing, with no clear deceleration in
sight (e.g. the IEA estimates a doubling in data centres energy consumption from
2024 to 2026 [@IEA2024]). At the same time, current science is well aware of

I am not sure I understand the difference between:

  • used during a project
  • used within a project

Doesn't within imply during, and during imply within, given that we are only talking about the project and not any external system?

My best guess would be that during refers to the people in the project processing the metadata mentally while within means that the software itself makes use of the metadata. But I agree that it is something that makes one stumble when reading.

I agree it is somewhat redundant. However, I wanted to emphasise that using metadata during the project to help direct the project is a real benefit. Typically, the common view is that metadata is collected for follow on projects or other users of the project. The metadata is then like a tombstone: here lies.... RIP

True.. But would we need both during and within then?
