[GeoNetwork-devel] Proposal / Keyword selection improvement

Dear PSC members,

I would like to propose an improvement to keyword selection when editing metadata.
This new keyword search interface is much more modular than the current
autocompletion list and improve usability and speed up keyword selection process.

The complete proposal is available here [1].

If motion pass, this new feature will be added to GeoNetwork trunk
(for 2.5 release).

Thanks to Pierre (who worked on Ext selection panel). This
development was first made in the GéoSource sandbox [2].

Looking forward to your votes, Regards.

Hi Mathieu,

I'm not a PSC member but I wonder if you could answer a few questions for me? These questions may be general GN questions or questions for your particular proposal. I'm not sure which but if anyone can answer these questions, then I would greatly appreciate your help.

It would appear that there is no URL for the keyword thesaurus in the GN interface. I have been using the descriptiveKeywords/thesaurusName/CI_Citation/identifier/MD_Identifier/code/Characterstring element to contain the URL for the thesaurus. The thesaurus XML file is in an ISO 19139 CT_CodelistCatalouge format. This CT_CodelistCatalogue file should be made available on the internet so that users can find the thesaurus for three reasons:
        1. So that they don't duplicate the same thesaurus,
        2. So that they can validate the keyword content against that thesaurus codeList and
        3. An application can load the thesaurus codeList content into an interface for users to select the values for searching etc.

If I was to harvest a GN metadata record with keywords how would I know where to get the thesaurus codeList to validate that the keywords are from that thesaurus? Is there something in the XML that tells me to get the thesaurus codeList from the GN service?

I look forward to answers to these questions.

Thanks.

John

Mathieu,

This should be a big improvement giving more flexibility regards the various
thesauri. This should also fix the problem I noticed that more than 1 thesaurus
are displayed for selection when entering a new keyword in the editor (see ticket #148
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/148) on on) Trac site.

It would be good to allow users the option to enter a keyword that doesn’t
use any thesaurus, I assume in this case user can enter any keyword they like
but don’t bother with keyword type and thesarus citation.
