[GeoNetwork-users] how map/download geoserver data in geonetwork?

Greetings — I have some starter questions related to mapping and downloading GeoServer data via our GeoNetwork portal. All is installed as per instructions here:

http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/04/harvesting-metadata-using-csw/

I’m running GeoServer v2.7-SNAPSHOT as a part of OpenGeo Suite, and GeoNetwork 3.0.0.

I initially had problems harvesting our GeoServer metadata, then switched the harvester setup to a simpler Dublin Core output schema, and GeoNetwork then harvested all sample spatial data from GeoServer. So I believe the harvester is working okay (though the problems I note below may be related to this harvest step).

Now I’m trying to figure out how to actually map these spatial data in GeoNetwork (not just view their extent), and provide options to download source data as well as view/download in other supported GeoServer formats (e.g., KML, WFS). All I see under "Download and links” in GeoNetwork is an “Open link” button that is nonfunctional.

In brief, so far I can only use GeoNetwork to view metadata from GeoServer records; I want to use it as a front-end portal to actually make maps and download data. This seems to be supported from information provided on the GeoNetwork main page, but I can’t find appropriate documentation to help me do this.

Many thanks for your guidance.

Hi,

The geoserver harvester should work and create for you one metadata for the
service, and as many metadatas of data as you have layers in your geoserver
service.
In thoses metadatas, you should have online resources with protocol
OGC:WMS* that link the geoserver data within the metadata. Then, in the
GN3.0 search page, you should have a 'globe' icon attached to the metada to
see the data in the map.
All this process works well.

This is the only interaction you can do with geoserver data: view them. You
cannot download them through WFS as no extraction service is implemented in
geonetwork. We will work soon on viewing WFS data in the map, but there is
no real download/extraction of data in custom formats as shp.
The actual download button in the search page is related to online
resources that you manually uploaded in your metadata (for example a ZIP).
And then link button is for link online resources you put in your metadata
as external links.

Hope it helps

Yes, the below helps; many thanks.

At present, I’m observing that GeoServer keywords are harvested, but title and abstract fields from GeoServer are not apparently harvested. Is there a way we could do this? I’m looking, for instance, at current “XSL transformation to apply” options in the harvester and none seem relevant; perhaps there’s a template that maps to the ISO 19139 schema we could use? It seems redundant to enter this information again in GeoNetwork.

Hi,

You don't need to apply special transformation or stylesheet cause it
harvests geoserver to iso19139 metadatas of service and datasets.
Are you sure you filled the geoserver content properly, i guess you need to
add a description to your layer in geoserver to get the title in geonetwork.

Otherwise, we would need to test the harvester against 2.7 version, but i
think it should work as previous versions.

Cheers
