[mapserver-users] Open source metadata tools/alternatives

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

You can use these tools to manage your metadata, and, at least in GeoNetwork's case, you can publish them to a CS-W catalog.

To integrate with MapServer, one idea is to set the LAYER/METADATA/ows_metadataurl_href value to that of a URL which will return the given metadata record (in FGDC, TC211, etc.).

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.
