[udig-devel] Add information to layer

[thomas dolley <thomas.dolley@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I plan to develop a software based on udig.
In this software I use several layer let's call them layer 1, layer 2, 
layer 3 and layer 4.
I need to manage some information about those layer as "a one page 
description of the layer, the date, the name of the producer, and some 
remarks", I need to manage some internal information as layer 1 and 
layer 2 are "population data" and layer 3 and 4 are "land use data". 
After some googling and some hour on udig I don't really see how to do 
this in a smart way.
And I've read about the ISO 19139 and ISO 19115-2 but it seems to be 
really heavy and I don't know if udig can handle this  xml file. And,  
manage this information in a separate file and maintain a link between 
layer file and description file does not seem (for me ) to be a good idea.
Do you have any idea were I can start to look to do this in a smart way ?
If it is a silly question please be nice I'm a beginner.

Best regards
Thomas
