[GeoNetwork-users] Z39.50 support removal .. [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Francois,

Apologies for the delay in replying.

We're very keen to see SRU retained.
I believe that SRU is used operationally, as part of the WMO WIS processes.
We also use SRU for other activities, within the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, because SRU offers fine-grained searching options, and is used across a very broad community (of catalogues).

Dear all,

We would like to know if there is any interests on keeping Z39.50
support in GeoNetwork ? Future version may contains major changes in
the search engine of the project and some features like Z39.50 make
thoses changes much harder to implement. For this reason, we're
thinking of removing old interfaces and Z39.50 is one of those.

The removal of Z39.50 consist of:
* Remove Z39.50 server component
* Remove Z39.50 SRU support
* Remove Z39.50 harvesters.

Let us know your opinion and, if you want to keep it, if you've any
resources to help maintaining it.

Best regards.

Francois

Hi Francois,

I believe that SRU is used operationally, as part of the WMO WIS
processes.

I'm not aware of all the details of WMO WIS, but I think they made their
own fork of GeoNetwork and use it for GISC ?
http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WIS/GISCs.html Those nodes are harvesting
"standard" GeoNetwork using SRU ?

We also use SRU for other activities, within the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology, because SRU offers fine-grained searching options, and is used
across a very broad community (of catalogues).

GeoNetwork Z39.50 harvester is not using SRU, so we can probably remove
them safely (maybe it was added in WMO nodes ?). So we've to check with
Simon if we can drop Z39.50 without removing SRU.

Cheers.

Francois

Hi,

reworked version of the pull request
https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/1502

Any review welcome (I’m not really sure how to test the SRU part).

+1 to removing z39.50 and keeping SRU (and OAI-PMH for that matter) for WMO WIS requirements.

If folks are interested I could supply sample SRU requests to help enhance the test suite.

Hi Francois,

Have SRU in 2.10.x working here. I’ll take a look at it shortly.

Cheers,
Simon
