Hi Andrea,
I can see this email thread becoming huge so I thought that I would break it
up into different items for discussion. Please see my comments on the other
items in different emails. My comments on the XSL are below:
Thanks.
John

Subject: Re: [Geonetwork-devel] Validation of XML against ISO

> This places the ISO 19139 work to be released in 2006-11.I have finished a set of stylesheets that convert an ISO19115
metadata to
its 2003 (19139) equivalent. I will commit them within a few days so
interested users can use them to do some tests/debugging. We used them
to migrate our metadata and they seem to work.When you will do a 'cvs up' you will get a new folder named 'migrate'.
The stylesheets are in 'migrate/xsl'. There is one more
stylesheet, named
'unmapped.xsl' which takes an ISO 19115 metadata and reports the
elements that cannot be mapped (if any).
I will try to get someone to download the CVS changes. I will then look at
the XSL.
I would be surprised if there are any unmapped ISO 19115 elements unless they
have been removed by the corrigendum.
I look forward to the results. I am very happy to help in whatever way I
can. ;--)
....
It will help for sure.
Cheers,
Andrea
