Dear Paolo et al,, yeah, I see it (thanks, QMD format in Layer Properties with attributes) but it's best to stay with the standard, which is something like I mentioned earlier; the precise XML details matter for parsing and compliance across platforms and tools (instead of :inventing own metadata formats).
I am still catching up with this one http://archaeogeek.github.io/qgis-uk-glasgow-2016-metadata/#/ But FAIR and INSPIRE are only covering the (small) EU market for name sake, if even that; whereas the U.S. (MORPHO-NCEAS, FGDC, USGS tools) and China/Asian matters MUCH MORE. e.g. https://github.com/NCEAS/morpho and its repository used for U.S. NSF and governments + libraries. And the ocean applications are hardly there yet, or in climate change mapping and modeling (just see IPCC for lack of ISO metadata). Metadata is essential, also for, and with, R code, phython workflows etc. Sure, if there is interest, I would be delighted to talk to somebody in more detail and how to make it happen. Thanks. Again, I am thinking here of geology, geography, climate, social sciences, biological, remote sensing and model prediction data and work etc. For starters, here is https://www.itis.gov/ (which we use a lot for our GIS work with biological species, and with metadata); Those things are to be catered in open source GIS works. I have not looked into the Google Cloud and Amazon Cloud, yet. Sorry to beat here a dead horse, but for governmental, contractor and science projects and software, without metadata any GIS work is not acceptable, nor serious. So it really matters; I am specifically thinking here of publication standards for high-impact journals, peer-review and reviewing. Thanks, happy to provide input and expertise as you require for QGIS. To me, metadata are an anti-corruption and transparency measure. I assume the world needs those things these days...
