      void process(IMetadataDS datasource)
      This method should be invoked by the data layer to add a metadata definition. The process method will validate the data passed through the IMetadataDS and will construct a metadata definition based on the data. When an invalid implementation of the data source is passed to this method (for instance not a unique name) this method will throw an exception.
      Parameters:
      datasource - Contains the information needed to construct a metadata definition.
      Throws:
      InitializationException - This exception is thrown when the data passed is not valid.
