AFAIK the available opensource software that manages metadata are
GeoNetwork (http://geonetwork-opensource.org/) and CATMDEdit
(http://catmdedit.sourceforge.net/), but I'm unable to see how to
integrate with mapserver.
A brand new software that is currentry in beta stage is Metabeta
(http://servizi.regione.toscana.it/sgr-iso19115/), but at this time is
related to italian community.
