Hi Fabio,
I don't have a answer to your question but I do have an architectural
suggestion that may help. One of the good things about ebRIM is that once
you have found an object in the registry you can link off to an extrinsic (is
that the word?) object. These objects can be services internal or external
to the ebRIM registry.
I know that GN doesn't currently do this but it may be a consideration for
future versions. ebRIM does have its good points but it also has some bad
ones. ;--)
Thanks and sorry for not answering your question. ;--)
John

Subject: Re: [GeoNetwork-users] Explorer operations and
footprint drawingHi Tim! Hi list!
Tim, thank u for your replay!
I've read somenthing and I have my own idea: with GN I can
manage metadata, not data
itself unless it is a standrd WMS link to a Map Server (in
this case i can use interactive map
through Intermap, is it true?).So, if my data is on the file system (or managed by not
standard Image Servicecs) I can't
display it with Intermap. I understand what u mean, so I
could make a spatial search with
Intermap and find data in GN (through metadata)..but can u
give me any link to a sample
application that do this? Until now I have only see
applications in which metadata stored in
GN and data displayed in Intermap are separated.With GN I would like to:
1. do spatial search in the sense described above
2. display image footprints (through coordinates stored as
metadata in GN)
3. do explorer operation like: create folder, copy, paste data, ecc..Is it possible (now or in the next release) to do vector data
upload in mySQL spatial or
PostGIS DBMS?Thank u very much for your help !
