Subject: Re: Geonetwork Persistent Identifier to Harvested records
Hi All,
Hmm, I did offer I guess.
I've included a patch below to make the generation of uuids for WxS
datasets unique (geonetwork trunk).I've tested this using WCS, WFS and WMS servers (and with the proposed
SOS option).Is there an existing trac issue for this so I can attach the patch? If
not can someone create one (Andrew?).Francois, any issues with this patch?
Thanks,

patch?As for what happens at the ANDS harvest side, we are looking into the
solution you suggested Andrew, as to avoid getting orphaned records...>
