[GeoNetwork-devel] Metadata linkage [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi,

Have been asked to extend Geonetwork 2.2.0, in particular am attempting to alter the logic where a Download button is displayed in the metadata search results.

During transformation individual metadata elements in /response have ‘brief’ pre-processing which results in elements being added, summarising online data details prior to rendering the results page. For example, iso19139 metadata containing a ‘CI_OnlineResource’ element will result in two elements being created. Only one of these, the second created, is actually used for rendering. If you dig deeper in metadata-iso19139.xsl you find elements being created around lines 1964 and 2028. A comment at line 2027 indicates that the second element is deprecated.

The first appears unused, the second , the deprecated element is used to produce the search results buttons.

What is the intention here? I get the feeling this is incomplete functionality. Could the designer please comment?

Thanks,

Steve
