[GeoNetwork-users] Harvesting CSW 2.0

Oscar,

the server you used is not a GN CSW. Excat is a catalogue implemented by Dutch National Space Agency. But I am glad that you could harvest this Excat at Alterra, as this is one of the catalogue nodes that we harvest from the dutch Geoportal that is running on GN.

Hi Archie,

Finally I managed to harvest from one server:
http://www.geodata.alterra.nl/excat/csw?request=GetCapabilities&service=CSW

CSW 2.0.2, and I guess they might be using GeoNetwork 2.x. I don't know why
this worked and other GNs didn't (as CSW).

Any other server I've tried (deegree, ArcIMS, Ionic, ...) failed, most of
them with an exception when searching. Other servers failed because of the
Capabilities document.

Regarding your server, yes, I tried it, but it failed too. How did I manage
to find your server? Just searched in Google "inurl:GetCapabilities + csw"

Greeting from Spain,

Oscar

Question 1: Harvesting only works with CSW 2.0.1 as red in the past?

CSW is highly version-specific and many (most?) servers reject a client
requesting anything but the particular version they support. In my
experience, not many CSW servers are backwards compatible.

The next version of GN will support CSW 2.0.2 (it's already checked into
subversion but is _not_ in GN 2.2).

Question 2: Could anyone specify any CSW server for test harvesting? I've

run out of ideas/links for continuing my tests.

Running CSW 2.0.1? I'm not sure who's still running that version. Maybe
someone here will volunteer. I've got a 2.0.2 server running as a demo.
