16. A non-transitory storage medium storing executable instructions executable by at least one processing system, the instructions including instructions to: automatically receive metadata from an asset provider; automatically identify the asset provider of the metadata; automatically perform transforming of the metadata based on an identification of the asset provider, wherein the transforming includes converting the metadata to a target metadata format, wherein the target metadata format includes one or more extendible fields and values that correspond to one or more fields and values included in a source metadata format of the metadata and not provided by a standard of a metadata format on which the target metadata format is based and the target metadata format includes each of the fields and values afforded by the standard of the metadata format on which the target metadata format is based, and wherein the transforming includes using the one or more extendible fields when one or more fields of the metadata do not have corresponding one or more fields afforded by the standard of the metadata format, and wherein the standard of the metadata format on which the target metadata format is based is different from a standard of the source metadata format on which the source metadata format is based; and automatically store a target metadata based on a performance of the transforming.
