We desire a better integration of self documenting WxS services being harvested into CSW catalogues which provide a resource describing available layers/data which is directly accessible from QGIS. Sort of in line with the QGIS web client
approach, but not quite :-)<br><div><br><span></span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><span>I'll be discussing some of this in my presentation on NIWA's use of FOSS.</span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><span>Cheers,</span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times,
