I would like to keep metadata files for the maps that I import into
GRASS and also the maps that I create. Much like the metadata that is
provided by ... cough... ESRI. Is there a way to do this in GRASS?
Should I just store the meta data files as text files in the GRASS
location and then edit
For individual layers in GRASS, you can add descriptive information
and processing history using r.support.
To access the information, use r.info.
Many metadata support files in GRASS are simple text files.
A simple shell script can parse that data and reformatted into a human
readable format.
