Hi Matteo:

I'm not aware of anything in GeoNode in this direction.  Having said this, given
a dwr:SimpleDarwinRecord extends Dublin Core, we could extend the metadata
ingest functionality to store the raw XML as is and store the Dublin Core based
fields as queryables (GeoNode supports Dublin Core).  Users downloading data
can then get the original Darwin Core or transformed metadata as part of their
workflow.
