Abstract
A set of metadata defines a hierarchical structure. The metadata is compared against a pattern or sub pattern for the hierarchical structure. Comparison results are generated that show differences between a core structure defined by the pattern and a core structure in the hierarchical data, as well as content defined by a sub pattern, and content in the hierarchical structure.
