Hi, usually I use an external tool to harvest QGIS projects and create ISO / DC metadata and push them through CWST to the catalog that is available. Talend metadatacrawler allows this easily. Having this embedded into QGIS could help indeed. I would very much like the ability to handle metadata

Dear Colleagues, thanks, if I may weigh in here re. metadata: Metadata remain key to whatever you do in computing and in the public eye. Lack of standardized, and good and accepted, visionary metadata, are the wide failure of most (software) projects, and if they want to remain and be of wider,
