[GeoNetwork-users] [GeoNetwork-devel] Publication of Geosource

Hi Jeroen,

This is excellent work! Impressive new functionality.

Thanks.

In fact, I would be very happy to create a branch on SVN for you to develop on independently if needed?

Yes, I think also It will be very important to have a unique repository of GN sources with a specific branch for Geosource, showed the nearest of the french project. Futhermore, It will be easier to merge the code. Do you think it will possible to open this branch ?

For instance the "metadata loading" message in the metadata view when changing tabs etc.. .

Thank Ajax

It allows for im/export of metadata, thumbnails and possibly also data and privileges. Your format seems pretty comparable and it seems pretty easy to align the two.

Very good initiative ! Andra, could you mail the specification of the MEF format developed in GN 2.1 ?

Let's start discussing a plan to integrate your developments based on this! We are about ready for a 2.1 beta release, but we can plan for some of the described functions to still be integrated. For the other functions we may work on integrating them in a 2.2 release for instance!?

I agree with the approach. Thesaurus --> 2.1 (francois, do you think it will available ?). Other, I will try to evaluate the job to add other functionalities... I will be very glad if we could sent our contribution of GN for the 2.2 release !

Pierre.

Hi Pierre!
This is excellent work! Impressive new functionality. I really hope you will be able to port a number of these into the GN 2.1 to ensure we avoid moving to a forked project :slight_smile:

In fact, I would be very happy to create a branch on SVN for you to develop on independently if needed? This may be a good next step now that 19139 support is available in GN2.1 and François started working on adding the thesaurus for instance. I think that working in the same SVN has a big benefit to ensure we all know exactly where we go and where we can ensure to get the best common approach.

I would like to invite you to start merging translations and thesaurus support directly on 2.1 and work on merging SRS, attribute metadata, contact directory support and import export functions through a branch on the GN SVN. Is that an option?

I noticed a range of small, nice improvements in your site that I would welcome to be added to GN 2.1 too. For instance the "metadata loading" message in the metadata view when changing tabs etc.. .

Also the export and import of search results are nice. They are very much in line with export import functions Andrea has been working on.
He described the MEF export format that could prove a nice option for you too. It allows for im/export of metadata, thumbnails and possibly also data and privileges. Your format seems pretty comparable and it seems pretty easy to align the two. I was discussing just this function yesterday with Andrea.

Again, I very much welcome having the GeoSource developers actively involve themselves in the GN project directly! Hope you can make this happen to further strengthen the project.

HI all,

We have the pleasure to announce the publication of a french
"customisation" of GeoNetwork, named Geosource.

Geosource, based on the 2.0.3 of GN, has been specialized for French
users to manage all metadata with the national profile of
19115 standards. But, the development was also the opportunity to:
- finish the translation of all terms and definition (in particular
19115 metadata);
- add thesaurus management with SKOS standards
- add export 19139 XML functionality with the enhancement of the GN
migration tool.
- Add import 19139 XML functionality and 19139 - French profile
- add SRS dictionary import / export with the respect of the 19111
standards about projection systems and use in the metadata editor
tool.
- add the capabilities to describe metadata about attributes (the
table associated to the dataset) with the implementation of a
simplified version of the 19110 standards - see "metadonnées completes
/ Catalogue des attributs"
- add organisms directory management and use in the metadata editor
tool.

Geosource is available in a french sourceforge (managed by the french
government): http://admisource.gouv.fr/projects/
geocatalogue/ with all documentation and source code (SVN) and you
could see an online demo here: http://212.208.217.23/geosource/srv/
fr/main.home (login/password : geoadmin/geoadmin)

One year ago, during the GN workshop, we chose to split the
development between french needs and current FAO GN developments
(because incompatible completion date). But, we are always OK to
contribute to the GN development, more particularly in the OSGEO
context !

Francois has started the implementation of thesaurus in the current
development GN 2.1. If GN team is interested with one or more
Geosource functionalities, we are ready to try to merge (after the
next realease of GN ?).

Thank again at all GN developers !

Excellent! Yes, sure we can set one up. Who would be the developers that need to access/ work on it?

For instance the "metadata loading" message in the metadata view when changing tabs etc.. .

It is documented in the docs section on the SVN. Here's the URL to the document:
http://geonetwork.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/geonetwork/trunk/docs/manuals/server-reference.pdf

Let's start discussing a plan to integrate your developments based on this! We are about ready for a 2.1 beta release, but we can plan for some of the described functions to still be integrated. For the other functions we may work on integrating them in a 2.2 release for instance!?
