Metadata authoring is pretty much the only reason I need to use ArcGIS right now.
If a free, open source alternative became available that was usable in a GRASS scripting
environment, that would be great!
Two examples of FOSS metadata tools:
http://www.mdweb-project.org/:
"MDweb is a generic, multi-language, multi-standard, multi-platform tool
for cataloging and locating environmental information, and, by
extension, geographical data. [...] The specifications adopted for the
cataloging of geographical information are based on the ISO 19115
standard and conform to Open Geospatial Consortium specifications and
European directives (INSPIRE directives)."
http://geonetwork-opensource.org/:
"GeoNetwork opensource implements both the Portal component and the
Catalog database of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) defined in the
OGC Reference Architecture. It provides tools for managing and
publishing metadata on spatial data and related services."
