[GeoNetwork-devel] CSW / on going work

Dear all, as we noticed some bug reports on CSW made yesterday by
tomkralidis, we would like to keep the list informed that we're
currently working on CSW improvements in GeoNetwork implementation first
made by Archie.

Main tasks are:
* Add ISO Profil support
* Add INSPIRE requirement for CSW
* Add SpatialSearch capabilities
* Update CQL parser to GeoTools one (instead of Zing one)
* Add GetDomain operation
* Add Transaction operation (review Zhuahua Zha patch provided on this
list last year)
* Pass OGC testsuite
* Test with other implementation to produce a interoperabilty matrix
between tools.
* Add configuration option for search parameter and GetCapabilities
information
* Add some GeoNetwork extension for CSW (eg. summary results needed for
geocat.ch project)

This work is mainly supported by BRGM. I'm working on that with Mathieu,
Pierre and Etienne. It's also used by the MapFish client with JS api to
query CSW catalogues which is in the geocat.ch sandbox.

Testing interface is available here :
http://brgm-geosourcev2.demo-camptocamp.com/geonetwork_csw/srv/en/test.csw

Once done, a patch will be proposed for integration in GeoNetwork trunk.
