Hi,
I have recently been looking into the categories in geonetwork. The categories I am refering to are when you go to metadata.show. There is an option to select the categories the metadata is part of. What is the purpose of these categories?
My theory is not all metadata formats support category elements and therefor this provides an overarching method of categorizing all metadata, but I really don’t know.
I see in the documentation a page on ISO categories but they do not seem to be the same thing. They are elements within the metadata document right?

Hi Jesse,
The purpose of categories is to be able to locally classify metadata in "categories". Indeed those can not be read from the metadata itself. It is kind of tagging, but with a predefined list of available tags. I could see such mechanism become available as community tags or so if a system admin would want that to be publicly managed.
Cheers,
Jeroen
