[Qgis-developer] QGIS MetaSearch Catalogue Client 0.1.0 released

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Tom,

I see you started collecting Meta Data Catalogues (at least on national scale) for the default services in the plugin.

I like the idea very much. What about asking (QGIS) users explicitly to provide addresses for their countries? Such a collection would be really valuable (especially for people working across borders) and maybe also of interest for other projects as there are already comparable initiatives on collecting information on available data:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geodata_Discovery_Working_Group
http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Global_datasets

What do you think?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan: thanks for the info.  This is the dreaded metadata "link types" issue.

If possible, can you open an issue on this so we can discuss this in the ticket?

Thanks

..Tom
