The current frameworks suports
- ServiceInfo
- GeoResourceInfo
Which contains "dublin core" (name, description, keywords) and the good bits
out of ISO 19115 (bounds, coordinate reference system, etc...) and a few extras
(icon mostly). The idea is that if you have more information available, perhaps
a text file or an ISO 19115 XML thing from a web catalog service, that you can
teach uDig about it - using an a IResolveAdaptorFactory class.
So if your data was available in a class called "UserMetadata"
UserMetadata metadata = null;
if( geoResource.canResolve( UserMetadata.class ) ){
UserMetadata metadata = geoResource( UserMetadata.class, new
NullProgressMonitor() );
}
if (metadata != null ){
metadata = new UserMetadata( geoResource.getInfo() ); // create quick
summary based on what uDig was able to figure out from file or database headers
}
