The present project enhances the geometa package for handling the new ISO 19115-3 geographic information standard as part of its object-oriented data model developed with R6.
The user community, especially data managers working in research national institutes and international organizations, will take advantage of the features to start adopting the new standard for managing their geographic metadata, progressively promoted in Geographic information management web platforms, especially those from the OpenSource Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) such as GeoNetwork, PyCSW or GeoNode.
