[OSGeo-Discuss] Greek Inspire Metadata Editor (gimed)

[Cameron Shorter]

Angelos,
I'm interested to understand why someone would use gimed instead of 
GeoNetwork (the currently established Metadata editor)?
What does gimed provide above GeoNetwork?
Why was gimed developed rather than extending GeoNetwork?
Could gimed be incorporated into GeoNetwork?

The other open source package in this space is Geopublisher:
