Dear Colleagues,

Thanks for your QGIS work; we use it all the time, and in a university.
teaching
and international research & field work setting.
We need more...

I might have asked earlier, but would you know what to do re. ISO compliant
metadata
in QGIS ?
On and off, ARCGIS (sorry to mention that name here) had a pretty good
extension and editor on
XML metadata for GIS data.

Do you mind to enlighten me for QGIS, R and similar when it comes to this
essential question
of data documentation (all else but the Achilles heel) ?

Here some reasons why it matters (URL) and what this is about (citation)

Zuckerberg, B, F. Huettmann and J. Friar (2011). Proper Data Management as a
	Scientific Foundation for Reliable Species Distribution Modeling. Chapter 3
In: C.A.
	Drew, Y. Wiersma and F. Huettmann (eds). Predictive Species and Habitat
Modeling
	in Landscape Ecology. Springer, New York. Pp 45-70.

Please keep me posted on this relevant matter as much as possible.

Thanks in advance; kind regards
      Falk
