convert_metadata

<code>convert_metadata</code> is a tentative generic metadata converter to
convert from one source object, represented in a source metadata object model in R
(eg eml) to a target metadata object, represented in another target metadata object
model (eg geometa <code>ISOMetadata</code>). This function relies on a list of
mapping rules defined to operate from the source metadata object to the target metadata 
object. This list of mapping rules is provided in a tabular format. A version is embedded 
in geometa and can be returned with <code>getMappings</code>.

Provides facilities to handle reading and writing of geographic metadata
defined with OGC/ISO 19115, 11119 and 19110 geographic information metadata standards,
and encoded using the ISO 19139 (XML) standard. It includes also a facility to check
the validity of ISO 19139 XML encoded metadata.

convert_metadata function

<dl><dt>obj</dt>
<dd>a metadata object given in one of the mapping formats known by geometa.
The object should be a valid <code>id</code> as listed by <code>getMappingFormats</code>, supported
as source format (<code>from</code> is <code>TRUE</code>).</dd>
<dt>from</dt>
<dd>a valid mapping format id (see <code>getMappingFormats</code>) that indicates the metadata
model / format used for the argument <code>obj</code></dd>
<dt>to</dt>
<dd>a valid mapping format id (see <code>getMappingFormats</code>) to convert to</dd>
<dt>mappings</dt>
<dd>a <code>data.frame</code> giving the reference mapping rules to convert metadata object.
This <code>data.frame</code> is by default the output of <code>getMappings</code>.</dd>
<dt>verbose</dt>
<dd>print debugging messages. Default is <code>FALSE</code></dd></dl>
