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.

  • 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)?

  • 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).
