Abstract: This paper describes the development of meta databases for geospatial data in the WWW in general as well as in particular the efforts / activities in the context of developing the InGeoMDB. Hence, especially existing meta data standards will be analysed and evaluated. Furthermore, possibilities of integrating meta databases into meta data information systems (MIS) resp. catalogue systems (CS) will be pointed out as well as aspects which should be considered with regard to 'Information Retrieval' via MIS/CS in the environment of the WWW.
