[GeoNetwork-users] multiple spatial locations

Terry_Rankine · March 23, 2010, 5:28am

Hi

I have a report which has 4 unique areas of study in it, I want to capture this in geonetwork 2.4.2 (we can do custom builds), but I don't know how to or if it's possible.

I don't really want duplicate reports and I don't want one mega bounding box, as the report focussed on N-E Queensland and then in several locations in WA, and the mega bounding box makes it much less useful for identification.

Hi Terry,

Theoretically you should be able to have multiple bounding boxes in your extent by creating multiple 'geographicElements'. (See XML below for example of multiple bounding boxes.)

Unfortunately, I can't tell you if GN implements this, how the indexes manage it and how it presents it.

Thanks.

John

Hi Terry,

Adding to what John has said its possible to identify each box using the 'id' attribute.
Handy, so you know which box is which. We have done this as we are describing
some nautical paper charts which have multiple sub-charts on them. See snippet below:

<gmd:geographicElement>
<gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox id="Australia_North_Coast_-_Queensland_-_Approaches_to_Weipa_0">
<gmd:westBoundLongitude>
<gco:Decimal>141.45112558</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:westBoundLongitude>
<gmd:eastBoundLongitude>
<gco:Decimal>141.9022105</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:eastBoundLongitude>
<gmd:southBoundLatitude>
<gco:Decimal>-12.86724397</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:southBoundLatitude>
<gmd:northBoundLatitude>
<gco:Decimal>-12.41513333</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:northBoundLatitude>
</gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox>
</gmd:geographicElement>
<gmd:geographicElement>
<gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox id="Port_of_Weipa_1">
<gmd:westBoundLongitude>
<gco:Decimal>141.80195892</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:westBoundLongitude>
<gmd:eastBoundLongitude>
<gco:Decimal>141.89275</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:eastBoundLongitude>
<gmd:southBoundLatitude>
<gco:Decimal>-12.69885342</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:southBoundLatitude>
<gmd:northBoundLatitude>
<gco:Decimal>-12.65096681</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:northBoundLatitude>
</gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox>
</gmd:geographicElement>
