[Geodata] Fw: Re: [GeoNetwork-devel] SMET (Spatial Metadata Extraction Tool)

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

I will contact Byron and see if perhaps the work that I (with help  
from Matt Perry and Markus Neteler) have put together can be of help:

http://code.google.com/p/spatialguru/source/browse - the trunk/nme/ 
cat application does quite a bit now and outputs to an XML format.   
Plus an ugly hack to spit out SQL INSERT statements too.  As far as  
integration with GN, I find that most of the attributes I care about  
my applications reading are not part of any metadata standard, so the  
overlap with 'traditional' metadata repositories may be quite low.

After talking with Michael Gould, I had started to try to dig into  
the GeoNetwork XML/zip interchange format but couldn't find many docs  
on it.  Is is actively used?
