Revision as of 19:11, 4 May 2008

store relevant metadata in an XML-based format, along with creation/modification history
a new directory '$maspset/metadata/' could house this information
would probably require major re-write of the raster/vector history mechanism
generic reading/writing of XML data (don't we already have this functionality somewhere...)
