Greetings all,
One of the great joys of any GIS project is, of course, preparing and
delivering the metadata.  The national co-ordinators of the metadata
project here in Oz have decided on an XML format and provided tools for
generating data in this format.  

The concept is great, but I'm now trying to work out how to deliver this
metadata.  Can anyone give me quick rundown on how this works?  I think
it's a template read by your favourite browser that allows you to select
your metadata XML file, then delivers it in accordance with the
template.  Or is it driven by some server application?
