I think this is a good option: not a qgis plugin but a separate application.
It's not just a matter of geting names and geographic positions, metadata
makes the catalog a complex tool.
Looking forward to it (and to see it fulfilling INSPIRE directives, so that
remote catalogues can be searched and browsed)
Are planing to include a metadata editor?

Hi Gary,
can You give us little bit more info ?
Thanks,

The data browser (code named GeoNibble at present) currently has the
following features:
* Browse directory tree
* Preview supported raster and vector layers
* Zoom and pan preview images
* View metadata for raster and vector layers
* Drag and drop support, including drop on QGIS
A screenshot can be seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/shermange/GNDB
The browser is written in Python (PyQt) and requires the bindings for
QGIS and GDAL/OGR. It is in early stages of development but functions
pretty well as a data browser/preview/launcher.
