| 38 | === Metadata for GRASS GIS maps and datasets === |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * GRASS supports basic metadata or descriptions but not the advanced large metadata as defined, e.g. by ISO. |
| 41 | * Current metadata standards should be supported/fulfilled, and multiple schemas/definitions should be possible, special interest is in the explicit support of INSPIRE. |
| 42 | * This project has two parts: |
| 43 | * The implementation of backend (library), storage format and modules to manipulate metadata. |
| 44 | * The GUI frontend to edit, import and export metadata. |
| 45 | * All GRASS datatypes should be supported: rasters, 3D rasters, vectors and temporal datasets. |
| 46 | * Relation to existing tools should be considered (G7:r.info, G7:v.info, G7:r.support, G7:r.timestamp, `t.*` modules). |
| 47 | * Compatibility with other GIS systems should be considered, especially QGIS, gvSIG and GDAL/OGR. |
