Hi,
I support the IT for a Carbon Capture and Storage research group.
I have installed GeoNetwork on our Debian Squeeze web server in the hopes that our researchers who work remotely from each other in a number of different universities can use our GeoNetwork installation as a catalogue (and maybe also as a repository) for the related project documentation and resulting datasets (metadata).
*Question 1*: Does the geonetwork installation include geoserver and intermap, and if so how are these accessed?
The documentation that I find on the internet explains that the installation should create three web application folders, geonetwork, intermap, and geoserver, however when I run the installation file "geonetwork-install-2.6.3-0.jar" and inspect the created directory "/usr/local/geonetwork/web", I only find one folder geonetwork and one file, geoserver.war, there is no intermap folder.
Checking a Windows installation (installed from "geonetwork-install-2.6.3-0.exe"), the folder structure of the only find one folder geonetwork and one file, geoserver.war, there is no intermap folder. In the Windows installation I am able to load via a web browser, "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/" and "http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/" but in the Linux installation (Debian 6, squeeze), I can only load http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/\.
I am wondering if intermap, and geoserver are really subcomponents of geonetwork? The other option is that there is something wrong with the Linux installation ?
*Question 2*: I have read that "the size of a single file to upload can't exceed 50 Mbytes", however I have been told our seismic datasets are much larger than this (>500MB). The 50MB sounds like quite a limitation, is there any reason for this or other alternatives I do not realise.

I did find this suggestion on the web "Although the upload is limited in size, the download is not limited. Our working practice (which is maybe not always all that practical is to upload a small file and replace the file on disk with the large, correct one." Is this a recommended work-around?
*Question 3*: Do you know of any one using GeoNetwork for Carbon Capture and Storage who may be able to provide us with suggestions on how best to utilise GeoNetwork ? Our hope is to use GeoNetwork to catalogue our CCS metadata.
Thanks,
George.
