Hi all,

today I discussed with Paolo Rizzi about the possible problems which might arise when using our metadata infrastructure model against the latest GML specs and the latest developements/proposals from you on Feature /FeatureType/schema model.

I updated the following page with a brief explanation of the metadata model we used to develop all the metadata infrastructure:

Thanks again for this update - it is really what we needed to understand what you are doing.

I just want to confirm that you understand the breakdown the new Feature Model has between "Type" and "Schema".
Type - captures the allowable value associated with an "Attribute" entry
Schema - captures the order the "Attribute" entries appear in

Your Meta_Type & Meta_TypeAttr & Meta_TypeRel really do look like the configuration information needed for Gabriel's complex datastore. I think he is going to "invent" exactly the same thing as you have placed together.

I also wanted to confirm that you understood the "handles" I was talking about yesterday (as part of the uDig catalog) do not enter into this Type or Metadata picture. You could set up a handle to "FeatureSource" produced by either system, even a "FeatureSource" that has not yet been created.
