Hi all One of the first thing governement (should) do with it's geodata is to get an overview. And one of the almost immediate proposals you get is to do it ISO19115/ISO19119 and OGC's CSW 2.0.
But like Ed Parsons says "the best policy is not to have a policy ..." [1] and in fact nobody really likes to maintain metadata. And a computer science pattern says "keep things close together which belong together. So what I'm looking for is a solution quite different to most geocatalog SW: The user simply get's a search page. Most of the job does a crawler which collects geo-metadata from internal disk shares and (geo-)databases. Of course some information - like data owner, data origin, data quality - need to be delivered by the data owner (e.g. in a text file with same own extension or as comments inside the database property). Did anybody implement such a thing already somewhere? The only thing which comes close to this is OKFN [2]. But I'm missing for example a Lucene reader for geo-metadata (ideally written in Python :-) [3]).
