[GRASS-user] Meta Data Management Suggestions

[Brent Wood]

I have not really thought about this in the GRASS context, not being much of a GRASS user myself, but you might look at Geonetwork as a metadata catalogue tool.


Cheers,

I would like to keep metadata files for the maps that I import into
GRASS and also the maps that I create.  Much like the metadata that is
provided by ... cough... ESRI.  Is there a way to do this in GRASS?
Should I just store the meta data files as text files in the GRASS
location and then edit them with the additional GRASS processing
information?
thanks,

so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
