I'm stuck trying to get metadata for vector-layers into a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS-Extension. The ESRI-Environment allows to define metadata (ISO, FGDC, INSPIRE,...) and saves this information together with the features e.g. in Oracle, FGDB, Shape/XML,...). QGIS provides metadata-properties for layers, but these don't find their way into PG.
Does someone know a solution to save metadata together with the features in PG (based on the common standards)?

What does speak against creating the needed attributes in your feature table or a joined table? You don´t really need an extra tool for it.Matte– Matte2017年09月03日 18:07:40 +00:00Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 18:07

Can you give more information on how Esri stores INSPIRE metadata for a shapefile, are you saying it provides a tool to link the shapefile to metadata stored in a database? Or does it store the XML in the same folder as the shapefile (that is not in a database)?nmtoken– nmtoken2017年12月22日 22:16:17 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2017 at 22:16

Hi! Due to holidays I will check it next week - normally ArcGIS stores Metadata fpr SHPs as a XML-File (same Filename). In Databases it stores Metadata natively within the database (but I have to do a deeper look in it).Flo Xi– Flo Xi2017年12月28日 19:42:34 +00:00Commented Dec 28, 2017 at 19:42

Here is a solution to store some metadata, you can customize the metadata model to be complient with INSPIRE, ISO, etc
