We’re working on implementing CSW services using GeoNetwork (also trying Deegree, and getting the ESRI CSW client to work), and have run into a problem with the various schema that are available. To summarize: what we need is a version of ISO 19139 that:
- Allows us to use GML 3.2.1, which is different and an improvement over the “cached” GML 3.2.0 that was used in the 2006 version of ISO 19139.
- Contains the service-related (ISO 19119) metadata elements that are in the SRV package (http://www.isotc211.org/2005/srv) of the 2006 version.
The details are discussed at http://lab.usgin.org/groups/csw-debug-blog/ogc-schema-issues-relation-csw.
The French group at EDEN (http://eden.ign.fr/xsd/isotc211) have identified the problems and solved them with a collection of bug-fix schema. Is there any consideration of creating a similar set of schema in the http://schemas.opengis.net repository or the http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ repository to create a working set of schema, or can the EDEN schema be considered authoritative enough to use for production systems?
thanks
