Hi,
I am testing the geonetwork at the moment and find it a brilliant tool for searching, compiling and harvesting metadata. One thing disturbs me though....I can´really see the purpose of the interactive map. I can load data from various sources, but I can´t view the datasets for which there are metadata. I thought that this would be a viewer to view datasets in the metadata catalog but this is obviously just a little map whichdoesn´t really serve any purpose....or have I missed the point?
thanks,
Rob
It can be used to view datasets in the metadata catalog if they are available as a WMS.
In our ISO19139 metadata, we add the WMS as an online resource. This enables an "Interactive Map" button in the metadata record which adds the layer to the interactive map (see attached screenshot).
ISO19139 XML to do this:
<gmd:distributionInfo>
<gmd:MD_Distribution>
<gmd:transferOptions>
<gmd:MD_DigitalTransferOptions>
<gmd:onLine>
<gmd:CI_OnlineResource>
<gmd:linkage>

<gmd:protocol>

Hi Robert
You have two maps in GeoNetwork:
* the small map in the search form is used to filter the metadata in the
selected area.
* the "big" map viewer on top of search results (attached screenshot)
allows to load in the datasets referenced in metadata, using the
Interactive Map button in the metadata search results.
See
http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/2.6.4/users/quickstartguide/new_metadata/index.html#linking-wms-online-resourcesfor
the format of online resources in metadata to display in GeoNetwork
the
Interactive Map button.
Regards,
Jose García
