Dear Alberto,

Hello Jeroen.

First at all, let me introduce my self, I am Alberto Amaro and during the
last three years I have been working with metadata and standardization in
the Remote Sensing Area of the INTA.

I suppose you have seen the last message that I just have sent to the
Metadata List, in which, I announced the availability of the last release
of the Metadata Editor software (IME).

Yes, I noticed the release although I did not yet take time to try the release.

I know you are working to incorporate, in Geonetwork, the XML files
validated with the ISO19139, so, let me suggest you this application.

Thanks, I forward your suggestion to the GeoNetwork users list so others can check it out.

I think it can be very useful to discover very fast the Metadata (elements
and entities) paths, now validated with the Schema (very, very close to the
final ISO schema version).

On the other side I want to ask you if Geonetwork 2.0.2 works with the CS-W
Opengis specification.

Version 2.0.2 implements the CSW 1.0 version through Z39.50. In the version that is currently under development we are implementing CSW 2.0.1 based on the ISO Application profile. Metadata in the new software will be validated against ISO19139 and I invite you to retrieve the code from the code repository (CVS) and test it and report problems discovered.

Greetings from the FOSS4G conference (http://www.foss4g2006.org),
Jeroen

We are really interested about it.
And if it is possible, with Geonetwork, to define new metadata (for example
extensions) to be searched and located in the XML file.

Best regards and congratulations for Geonetwork and for the FAO mission.
