Hi Jeroen,
Thanks for your prompt answer.
We have download 2_0_FIX2 Geonetwork version as you suggested to us, but
were still having the same problem with search by westBL, northBL. We have
built this version and installed the resulting geonetwork-2.0.3-install.
However, when we introduce in the search request:
http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/main.search?region=338
<http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/main.search?region=338&northBL=38.2
&westBL=-17.3&eastBL=51.1&southBL=-34.6&relation=equal>
&northBL=38.2&westBL=-17.3&eastBL=51.1&southBL=-34.6&relation=equal
like FAO Web Site does:
http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/main.search?region=338
<http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/main.search?region=338&northBL=38.2&we
stBL=-17.3&eastBL=51.1&southBL=-34.6&relation=equal>
&northBL=38.2&westBL=-17.3&eastBL=51.1&southBL=-34.6&relation=equal
We dont get any result. This request should match the sample product
Hidrological basins in Africa. At the Fao Web Site the matching results
seem OK.
Any idea on what are we doing wrong? Well also test the 2.0.3 release once
it is available.
Yes, Francois and Pierre in France are working on integrating thesaurus
support to both version 2.0 and later ported into 2.1 . That > should allow
to do a solid category browsing option. We will also be working on an
improved searching using keywords. Not
completely sure what that will look like, but it should inform the user on
related keywords to his initial search results and help
refine his search. If you have a good solution, input is welcome.
Well, in another project for ESA we have developed a service ontology using
OWL/RDF and we publish it using the opensource Sesame server
(http://www.openrdf.org/). Wed like to interface it somehow to geonetwork
to provide this functionality. Maybe François and Pierre can comment on his
approach to see if we can contribute in implementing this functionality?
Ciao,
Jeroen
Best regards,
