[GeoNetwork-users] GN 4.2.4

Dear all,
We have installed the latest version of GN for a project in the field. The responsible person who will be managing the site has already some queries that I'm reporting to you here below.
Any advice and suggestion will be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Patrizia
PS for François and Jose: We haven't talked for a while. I hope everything goes well on your side :slight_smile:

  * Management of the keywords in the UI side menu

Is there a way to split keyword categories and display them in the sidebar menu separately?

  * OAI-PMH provider

Is it fully operational? In which version of GeoNetwork is it available?

  * API requests

What limit for GET, POST, UPDATE, PUT, DELETE?

Are there non-standard technical requirements for the API?

  * Portals management.

How many portals can be added in a cluster?

Two more questions about

- Points of contact imported from outside in xml.
Need to create them also in GeoNetwork?
Granularity?
Possibility to restrict emails or specific persons?

- Is the v. 4.2.4 the recommended stable version to use?

Thank you,
Patrizia

Hi Patrizia

Let me try to answer the questions:

* Management of the keywords in the UI side menu

Is there a way to split keyword categories and display them in the sidebar menu separately?

You mean to have keywords from different thesaurus and display a filter for each thesaurus? if so, yes. Please check: https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/4.0.x/en/customizing-application/configuring-faceted-search.html?highlight=facet#term-aggregation-on-a-thesaurus, probably need to use Kibana to find the index field name used for each vocabulary.

* OAI-PMH provider

Is it fully operational? In which version of GeoNetwork is it available?

GeoNetwork 3 has a OAI-PMH provider, but that feature is not available in GeoNetwork 4. It allows to harvest metadata from other OAI-PMH providers, but not to act as as OAI-PMH provider.

* API requests

What limit for GET, POST, UPDATE, PUT, DELETE?

Are there non-standard technical requirements for the API?

It's quite standard, but you must pay attention for POST / PUT / DELETE request to provide the CRSF token.

See

- https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/4.0.x/en/customizing-application/misc.html#invalid-csrf-token

- https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/4.0.x/en/api/the-geonetwork-api.html

* Portals management.

How many portals can be added in a cluster?

This has change from version 3. See the details at https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/4.0.x/en/administrator-guide/configuring-the-catalog/portal-configuration.html

I don't think there is a limitation related to the portals to define. Probably more related to the number of accesses to the system.

- Points of contact imported from outside in xml.

Need to create them also in GeoNetwork?

I guess you mean the subtemplates in the Manage directory? You can export the XML snippets and import them in the new version.

Granularity?

Can you elaborate on this a bit more?

Possibility to restrict emails or specific persons?

Can you elaborate on this a bit more? is this related to the application users or contacts in the metadata?

For the contacts in the metadata, you can define the contacts in the Manage directory and select them in the editor, but probably will require to enable the XLink mode or to do some code changes to make not possible to edit the related information.

- Is the v. 4.2.4 the recommended stable version to use?

Yes, but there are some missing features like OAI-PMH provider, so if you need that feature, you should stick to 3.12.

Dear Jose,

Thanks a lot for your useful clarifications. I will forward your email to the person who posted those questions from the Institute of Marine Research in Norway. For the future I will ask him to subscribe to the users list to get in contact directly to the community so he can take advantage of developers/users knowledge and experience.

Thank you and all my best regards,
Patrizia
