Re: [gdal-dev] Date tag in geotiff files

[Ivan]

Martin,

An easy-dirt way is just add Metadata Items to it. That is how I am doing:

    output_dst.SetMetadataItem('STARTDATE',     start_date.isoformat(), '')
    output_dst.SetMetadataItem('STARTTIME',     start_time.isoformat(), '')

That would work as long as you are the same guy who writes the piece of code that read that data (stored on 
GDAL auxiliary XML files, not on TIFF tags by the way).

Would be nice if we could use a standard Metadata schema.

Regards,

Ivan
