[Mapserver-users] Metadata Server

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Sounds like you're looking for a registry?  Keep an eye out for deegree
WCAS (http://deegree.sourceforge.net/), which will provide an interface
obeying OGC Catalog 2.0, which acts as a high level discovery tool to
data and services, via metadata.

Cheers
