“Batch Parsing XML Metadata for Cataloging GIS Data”

We have a similar need. We need a searchable catalog for our metadata, we don't want to pay for ESRI, we don't need the full capabilities (and java) of GeoNetwork. I have been starting to hack something similar together using Python, but my strategy has been to rip the XML and stuff it into a database. It is interesting to see that your performance isn't bad by just directly reading the XML docs. Your route definitely gets rid of the need to keep a database in synch with the filesystem. I will be interested to follow where you go with this project. Thanks for letting us know about it. David. Very nicely done. We have a similar need.
