Any implementions of web-based ANZLIC-format metadatabase?

[Doig Jonathan <doigj@epa.nsw.gov.au>]

Are there any implementions of a web-based ANZLIC-format metadatabase
either existing or currently under development?

NSW EPA is considering production of a www-based ANZLIC-format
metadatabase for our datasets. The metadatabase would start with those
entries we have submitted to the NSW Natural Resources Data Directory
(NRDD) version 2. We may use MS SQL server behind the query forms, and a
map server such as ESRI's MapObjects. If you are working on a similar
project, there may be room for collaboration. We would be happy to place
any scripts we develop in this project into the public domain.

Also, where can I find the ANZLIC MS Access metadata entry tool?

Thanks
Jonathan Doig
