In most cases the published articles is document that has some additional metadata added during the publishing process. Hence, there's an inherent disconnect between the article and the metadata that must be examined for accuracy and truth.

Instead, the published article should really be a view of the structured data, metadata, and text (i.e. the true content) that makes up the article. Formatting and such can be a pain, but using this approach would mean the published article is a view of the truth rather than the metadata being created as something of an afterthought.
