Re: [GRASS-user] Meta Data Management Suggestions
I have not really thought about this in the GRASS context, not being much of a GRASS user myself, but you might look at Geonetwork as a metadata catalogue tool.

Re: [GRASS-user] Meta Data Management Suggestions
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.
