Re: [Qgis-developer] Metadata fields in QGIS
Hi I also think more things could be added automatically (bbox for example). But it would be hard to implement all the metadata needed inside QGIS. Other tools are dedicated to metadata. In QGIS metatada tab, you can add the URL to the page giving the metadata in standard format. There is a tool called metadator, written in python, which aims to facilitate the generation of metadata for several layers. This tools could be great to have as a plugin in QGIS : https://github.com/Guts/Metadator Michael 2014-02-18 17:53 GMT+01:00 Paolo Cavallini cavall...@faunalia.it: Hi Jonathan, Il 18/02/2014 13:18, Jonathan Moules ha scritto: I posted this to the user list a couple of weeks ago but no interest.

Maybe we should set up a wiki page to coordinate all the varuious pieces around metadata and CSW?

Re: [Qgis-developer] Metadata fields in QGIS
I posted this to the user list a couple of weeks ago but no interest. Maybe the dev list has some thoughts? Hi List, I'm wondering if anyone uses the metadata fields for data in QGIS (Layer Properties - Metadata)? I've been told that this is supposed to be filled in manually. I ask because I originally thought it was supposed to be filled in automatically - http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8870 - And for OGC services (WMS, WFS etc) this seems logical as all of the data is in the GetCapabilities. Does anyone have a view on this? Should the metadata be filled in automatically or should the user enter it manually? My issue with the later is that I guess the metadata is only saved in a .qgs file, and not the source itself, so no-one else is going to be able to see manually entered data. Thoughts? Comments?
