> Use a standard metadata catalog, geonetwork for instance.

> Use some ETL to parse these files and generate automatically metadata
> entries in the catalog using CSW transactions
> Use QGIS server to render nice overviews for those metadata templates.
> Moderate those metadata and publish those that need to be according to
> your INSPIRE obligations. In most case, one entity produce very few

> Use QGIS server to publish datasets
> Wait again some years for the real GML application schema to publish full
