Reporter: kliu | Owner: geonetwork-devel@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: v2.7.0
Component: General | Version: v2.6.3

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Some catalogs are published by WAF protocal. A Web Accessible Folder (WAF)
is an HTTP accessible directory of files, typically metadata files in XML
format in which all files are visible to a web browser or client. Crawlers
are able to parse the file listings and provide a search interface on
these documents. In addition, some WAF contains OGC Service Getcapbilities
file such as: http://mrdata.usgs.gov/wms.html,
http://mrdata.usgs.gov/wfs.html
To allow users to harvest the metadata from the WAF catalogs, we added the
WAF harvest to current GeoNetwork.
To enable WAF harvest, a subtype list box is added to the''' Web Access
Folder/ Web Dav server''' harvest management page. If the harvesting url
is under WAF protocol, administrators may choose WAF harvest subtype. Some
WAF url as below: http://capita.wustl.edu/DataspaceMetadata_ISO/
