[Qgis-developer] MetaSearch 0.3.0 released

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Tom,

if you allow me a user-question here:

Such a feature would be very much appreciated. Would you think of shipping a CSW server (e.g. pyCSW) with a QGIS installation / make that a dependency for a plugin or do you think of an interface to Metadata catlogue software like (from the group of OSGeo tools) GeoNetwork. The latter - which probably would be comparable with this solution in the proprietary world: https://www.geocat.net/bridge/ - would be nice, because it would a) improve interoperability between OSGeo projects, and b) help in central metadata management of an organisation (while the former is probably mor beneficial for smaler companies or single users which do not operate something like GeoNetwork)!
Otherwise, a way to get metadata from QGIS published (e.g. in GeoNetwork), would be XML-import...

Cheers
Stefan
