Nice to hear that you found the script and got it to work! I'd love to see what fixes you applied and would roll them into the official code. How you use the resulting xml brings up a good question. How did you envision using the metadata results? My plans were to build a gui and simple query system next. But ultimately I want a tool in my desktop GIS to allow quick browsing and loading of certain layers easily. There are some hacks in there that can output sql or csv if you need something simpler.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Automatic-Metadata Catalogueing
Hello, I have piled up quite some data for a current project. In order to keep track of the data I would like to use some automatic indexing to create a data catalog. The idea is to cycle through all folders and sub-folders and create a catalogue which shows: * basic data (projection, extend) * attribute table columns * data preview I found two solutions: * SpatialDataCataloguingScript at http://code.google.com/p/spatialguru/wiki/SpatialDataCataloguingScript => this works well after some fixing. But how do I best use the generated XML file? Apparently, gvSIG has some tool as well: Semi-automatic Metadata Extraction from Imagery and Cartographic data http://www.geoinfo.uji.es/pubs/igarss07-metadata-cameraready.pdf What can you recommend?

[OSGeo-Discuss] Volunteer Assistance for Pakistan Relief Efforts
Dear OSGeo Community, As most of you are likely aware there is a major natural disaster continuing to unfold in Pakistan due to major flooding. The Sahana Software Foundation is currently standing up an instance of Sahana Eden that is being used in support of the relief efforts in Pakistan at http://pakistan.sahanafoundation.org. Sahana Eden is an open source rapid application development framework that is built on the Web2Py framework including a mapping portal that is built using OpenLayers and GeoExt. Sahana Eden works with open standards wherever possible. The Sahana Software Foundation is seeking volunteers to help with the following tasks: - Data Entry - OpenLayers/GeoExt Enhancements and Bug Fixing - Finding supporting data layers and services for the mapping portal, standing up OpenLayers accessible web services (WMS/KML/GeoRSS etc) where data is available but no services exist - Integration of MapFish or GeoServer Print Service - General Python development with Web2Py Volunteers will need to be patient and understand that our ability to help you help us may be limited by the work that our developers need to maintain in coordination with those who are using this portal for their responses. Further information about the Sahana Software Foundation Flood Response can be found at http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Pakistan. Our current development needs can be found at http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/PakistanDevelopers. Those interested in assisting our efforts should sign up to the mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/sahana-pakistan-2010. Our developers are coordinating our response on IRC on Freenode channel #sahana-eden, please join and introduce yourselves. Thank you, David Bitner Sahana Software Foundation Board of Directors *The Sahana Software Foundation mission is to help alleviate human suffering by giving emergency managers, disaster response professionals and communities access to the information that they need to better prepare for and respond to disasters through the development and promotion of free and open source software and open standards.* ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: [Foss4g2010] Code Sprint
Venka, thank you for moving this. We are supposed to have 7 rooms (at least) for the BOSs (break out sessions). Here the rooms available: sala 6 (320 pax)sala 5 (250 pax)sala 3 (150 pax)sala 8 (100 pax) sala 4 (75 pax)sala 11 (78 pax)sala 12 (90 pax) BOFs are scheduled, for the moment, only on Wednesday afternoon, from 6 to 7 pm. The gala dinner is at 8pm of the same day. We are checking if, with many request of BOSs we can add another slot. I suppose that the distribution of the rooms will be made on how many subscribers there will be in the wiki page.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Sensor Web BoF (breakout Session) at FOSS4G2010
Dear All, similar to the WPS Breakout Session (aka Birds-of-a-Feather Session) at the FOSS4G I would like to organise a session on the topic of Sensor Web (Enablement). Looking at the programme of this year I saw, that there seems to be a growing number of Sensor Web activities. If you are interested to have some discussion on this topic, it would be great if we could use this opportunity. If you are interested to join, please put your name here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2010_Breakout_Sessions#Sensor_Web_BoF Best regards, Simon 2010/8/21 Venkatesh Raghavan : > Hi All, > > Several presentation on WPS implementation/application > have been selected for presentation.
