We definitively need first a metadata information model. Geographic catalog is rather data provider centric name for a system and a model, so we prefer a user centric 'metadata (information) model'. See [[OSGeodataMetadataModel]] for further discussion.

For general '''protocol requirements''' read [[OSGeodataMetadataProtocol]]. After having agreed on a better protocol there is also a need for a better name than 'Geographic Catalog Service or Protocol', like 'Geographic Metadata Harvesting Protocol'.

Overview

These are experimental pages originated from OSGeodata Mailing List on OSGeo.org.

Let's finally unleash geographic information through open access and dissemination of geographic data and (metadata) search appliances!

Managing metadata well is the key to making a repository of open geographic data really useful and re-usable. Creating metadata can be a dull chore. Part of the problem is over-focus on production, rather than consumption; on standards, rather than on usage. The Geodata Committee at OSGeo has been working on a "simplest useful thing" approach to geographic metadata.... (Citation from Jo Walsh)

Therefore we really need a information model as well as a protocol for metadata exchange. See OSGeodataDiscovery for morr information on this. And let's reduce it to the max.
