Hi, Aedin.

We have gone the route of distributing the code _only_ in the GEOmetadb
package.  The data are distributed as a separate SQLite file which,
incidentally, can be used external to the package.  In any case, when you
use getSQLiteFile() function in GEOmetadb, you will be greeted with the
schema version and creation timestamp of the SQLite file.  To answer your
question directly, the SQLite file is rebuilt weekly (currently Saturdays).
