Where does the metadata go in a QGIS project?
The QGis user guide says that metadata is saved inside the project. So you have to create a QGis project and save it in order to keep your metadata. I found that, when working with shapefiles, if you save the metadata to an external file with the same name as you shape, it gets read automatically.
How to load 3D city models in QGIS?
However, it is based on GML encoding which has a complex nature and poor interoperability. For this reason, the CityJSON has been developing as an easy‐to‐use JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) encoding for 3D city models using the CityGML 2.0 data model.
