Notes:

See SEARCH_METADATA, GET_METADATA_DOCUMENT, and GET_ROOT_DATASET for request.
Column names added through RESPONSE_COLUMN columnname become "custom attributes" in METADATA_DATASET. For example, if you include RESPONSE_COLUMN columnname="service_running", then in addition to the extisting attributes in METADATA_DATASET, a new attribute named service_running will always be returned as part of METADATA_DATASET. Please note the following:
- If you are using a DTD, you must update METADATA_DATASET to account for these "custom attributes".
- You cannot use a column name that replicates any existing attribute in METADATA_DATASET.
