[GeoNetwork-users] Metadata & schemas

Hi,

I have some questions re handling of schemas when importing / validating
metadata.

(1) when harvesting, how exactly does GN decide which shema to use for
validation ?

(2) when importing metadata "manually" you can select a destination schema.
Does this mean it will always use the schema you select here, and disregard
any possible xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the metadata?

(3) the destination schemas contain a.o. "iso19115" and "iso19139". I had
understood that iso19115 does not come with a schema, and that iso19139
provides a schema that can validate the iso19115 spec? I must be missing
something here, how are these related?

(4) in the GN distribution I find a directory /schemas, and also a directory
/validation. Both directories contain schemas. What is the role and purpose
of the schemas in the one, and in the other directory?

(5) looking at the schema csw-2.0.1.xsd in GN's directory
/validation/csw/2.0.1, I find that the schema is not valid as it imports
some non-existing schemas (e.g. ../../ows-1.0.0.xsd). What's up with that?

If you have any answers or can point me to up-to-date documentation about
these things, I'll be most grateful !

Kind regards
Heikki Doeleman
