And possibly c), **wide** support of publishing tools / storage systems 
to the **automatic** generation (with the help of 
template/configuration) of VoID descriptions of the available data (for 
semantic consumers), and Sitemaps (without the Semantic extension) for 
indexing contents (for search engines).

The automatic generation of human readable and  machine processable 
metadata is quite common in my area (Geospatial Web Services). See for 
example
