[GeoNetwork-devel] Metadata in "WMO Core Metadata Profile 1.2", an extension of ISO 19115-2/19139

Hi all,

I have to use a Geonetwork (2.6.5) implementation in order to handle meteorological metadata in “WMO Core Metadata Profile version 1.2” format, which is an extension of the original standard ISO 19115-2/19139.
I am not a metadata specialist, thus I would like to know if someone else did already tried to use this profile.

This profile is fully described here: http://wis.wmo.int/2010/metadata/version_1-2/
The documentation says “The WMO Core Metadata Profile is a ‘type-1’ profile. This implies it only RESTRICTS the original standard and adds / amends Code Lists.**”

Many thanks,
Victor

Victor,

As far as I recall, Timo Proescholdt was looking at implementing a later version of this profile but am not sure where that got up to - last I heard this was being done in 2.7 (now 2.8.x RC2).

Looking through the doc you referenced, I can't see (from a quick skim) that there would be too many problems in implementing this in 2.6.4 if you alter the base iso19139 schema in GeoNetwork as follows:

- implementing the restrictions as additional schematron rules and recompiling the schematron XSLTs to include them (see the schematrons sub directory in the 2.6.4 code)
- adding the extra codelists etc to iso19139/loc/<language>/codelists.xml

Also:

- if you want to add GCMD keywords in the editor then you could locate a SKOS vocab for the GCMD keywords to use in the GeoNetwork thesaurus picker (plus any other thesaurus you might need)
- don't think you want to switch on xlink resolver in 2.6.4 as it seems like the profile might permit records that have xlinks to html and pdf documents...you might want to present the elements that have those links in some special way though

Would be better to set about this in 2.8.x as a plugin schema (if it isn't out there or already) but if not then I think it could be done in 2.6.x.

Cheers,
Simon

Oh yes also some fiddling with namespaces to support the gmi stuff as well - forgot about that.... depends on which (or any) iso19115-2 extensions you wanted to use as they might require some additions to the presentation xslt (metadata-iso19139.xsl) as well.

Hi again,

Sorry, but I would have to reopen this thread, as I was not able to have an answer from Timo (I sent a couple of messages to him), nor to find one by myself…
So: does somebody know if “WMO Core Metadata Profile 1.2” is well supported in GeoNetwork 2.8?

Thanks, Victor
