metadatadir <- "D:/Travail/OwnCloud/Zone Atelier PVS/QRcode/QRcode_3/Metadata/Cours_atelier_R_MD/ZATU/"

Répertoire où seront exportées les fichiers XML de métadonnées

exportxml_dir <- "D:/Travail/OwnCloud/Zone Atelier PVS/QRcode/QRcode_3/Metadata/Cours_atelier_R_MD/Export_XML/"

Set the prefix you wish to find easily your metadata files

• then XML fixed are validated and uploaded in geonetwork : http://collec-za.org:8080/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.edit#/board Search for ZATU.
