[GeoNetwork-users] GeoNetwork opensource 2.1.0 released

Dear all,

Finally, after much effort by a tremendous group of people, I think we managed to make an excellent release of GeoNetwork opensource version 2.1.0. I'm still not sure why we ever thought this was only a 0.1 upgrade from the last version 2.0, as it is a very substantial new release!

The search interface has been completely overhauled, providing AJAX based, highly interactive searching and interactive web map viewing. Connect to whatever Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Service and overlay it on the base layers served by the embedded GeoServer map server. Export the map you created as a PDF and send it to others. You'll soon be able to also send them by email or save them as a geotiff for use as a background layer in a GIS.

The catalog handles the latest ISO19115:2003 geographic metadata format based on the ISO19139 schemas, as well as the older ISO19115 final draft format, FGDC and Dublin Core. Specific application or country profiles can be added as well. The editor is able to handle a major part of these complex standards, providing default, advanced and XML editing online.

The new version has a number of different harvesting interfaces, allowing you to connect your server to many other catalogues arround the world. It is the open source reference implementation for the OGC Catalog Service for the Web 2.0 (CSW2.0.1) specification. It has webdav harvesting and harvesting from GeoNetwork 2.0 and 2.1 nodes. Harvesting from Open Archive Initiative (OAI) and Z39.50 are upcoming in update releases very soon, they just didn't make the deadline.

We've added advanced online and offline administration functionality to configure, backup and migrate the application. We've added a convenient import and export format "MEF", or Metadata Exchange Format, that allows you to move metadata, previews and even data in a convenient single file. Work is done to have export and import plugins to other software supporting MEF.

All in all, much to much to describe in one email. I would say "Just try it" and join the GeoNetwork opensource Community to help further improve the system for the future.

Thanks to all those that contributed in many different ways. Especially to Andrea Carboni, Patrizia Monteduro, Emanuele Tajariol, Roberto Giaccio and Francois Prunayre as well as to FAO, UNEP and OCHA.

Greetings from Rome,
Jeroen

Jeroen,

I see the server version is still an "RC" on Sourceforge. What plans for its final release?

Many thanks,

Greg.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the feedback, we'll have to make that clear on the website. The installer is now just on for both desktop and server, so there will be no separate server version released. The embedded GAST and the online system configuration in the administration panel should allow you to configure GeoNetwork to work with other databases.
Ciao,
Jeroen
