In this paper we propose a strategy for metadata curation especially with respect to the variability of the values encountered in the metadata records and hence in the facets of the main CLARIN metadata catalogue, the VLO. The approach concentrates on measures on the side of the infrastructure and on the interaction between human curators and the automatic processes.
