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]).
Yours, Stefan

http://pycsw.org ? (Which is in CKAN from OKFN) Another implementation
is geonode.
Enjoy,
