Problem is I'm scared about the lack of requirements (or should I say the blurry ones) for a metatada client.
Explanation: it would be pretty easy to build one that works over well defined information schemas (dublin core, 19115/191139). My temptation (and what I'm doing at the server side on my csw) is to have a single, strong typed metadata model on the Java level (the GeoAPI metadata interfaces, reflecting ISO 19115), and a mapping to the different output schemas (ogccore is a subset of dc, and iso 19139). Problem is uncertainty on the sufficiency of this approach to support emerging profiles. Aka, a profile is allowed to augment the information model with new structures. So the tradeoff is on limiting what we can handle with an pleassant API, or end up allowing anything like a DOM and deal with the mess it supposes. so I'm hungry of comments on this regard.
