Detailed Description

A structured metadata store for a map layer.

QgsProjectMetadata handles storage and management of the metadata for a QgsProject. This class is an internal QGIS format with a common metadata structure, which allows for code to access the metadata properties for projects in a uniform way.

The metadata store is designed to be compatible with the Dublin Core metadata specifications, and will be expanded to allow compatibility with ISO specifications in future releases. However, the QGIS internal schema does not represent a superset of all existing metadata schemas and accordingly conversion from specific metadata formats to QgsProjectMetadata may result in a loss of information.

This class is designed to follow the specifications detailed in the schema definition available at resources/qgis-project-metadata.xsd within the QGIS source code.

Metadata can be validated through the use of QgsLayerMetadataValidator subclasses. E.g. validating against the native QGIS metadata schema can be performed using QgsNativeProjectMetadataValidator.

Since: QGIS 3.2

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsProjectMetadata()

QgsProjectMetadata::QgsProjectMetadata ( )

default

Constructor for QgsProjectMetadata.

Member Function Documentation

◆ author()

QString QgsProjectMetadata::author ( ) const

Returns the project author string.

See also: setAuthor()

Definition at line 84 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ clone()

QgsProjectMetadata * QgsProjectMetadata::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Clones the metadata object.

Since: QGIS 3.2

Implements QgsAbstractMetadataBase.

Definition at line 79 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ combine()

void QgsProjectMetadata::combine ( const QgsAbstractMetadataBase * other )

overridevirtual

Combines the metadata from this object with the metadata from an other object.

Any existing values in this object will be overwritten by non-empty values from other.

Since: QGIS 3.20

Reimplemented from QgsAbstractMetadataBase.

Definition at line 58 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ creationDateTime()

QDateTime QgsProjectMetadata::creationDateTime ( ) const

Returns the project's creation date/timestamp.

See also: setCreationDateTime()

Definition at line 94 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ operator==()

bool QgsProjectMetadata::operator== ( const QgsProjectMetadata & metadataOther ) const

Definition at line 72 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ readMetadataXml()

bool QgsProjectMetadata::readMetadataXml ( const QDomElement & metadataElement )

overridevirtual

Sets state from DOM document.

Parameters

metadataElement The DOM element corresponding to `‘resourceMetadata’' tag

Returns: true if successful

Subclasses which override this method should take care to also call the base class method in order to read common metadata properties.

Reimplemented from QgsAbstractMetadataBase.

Definition at line 22 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ setAuthor()

void QgsProjectMetadata::setAuthor ( const QString & author )

Sets the project author string.

See also: author()

Definition at line 89 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ setCreationDateTime()

void QgsProjectMetadata::setCreationDateTime ( const QDateTime & creationDateTime )

Sets the project's creation date/timestamp.

See also: creationDateTime()

Definition at line 99 of file qgsprojectmetadata.cpp.

◆ writeMetadataXml()

bool QgsProjectMetadata::writeMetadataXml	(	QDomElement &	metadataElement,
		QDomDocument &	document
	)		const

overridevirtual

Stores state in a DOM node.

Parameters

metadataElement	is a DOM element corresponding to `‘resourceMetadata’' tag
document	is a the DOM document being written

Returns: true if successful

Subclasses which override this method should take care to also call the base class method in order to write common metadata properties.

Reimplemented from QgsAbstractMetadataBase.
