[Geoserver-users] Inspire plugin

Hi,

Is there any information about the inspire plugin for geoserver? As far as I can see geoserver beta was updated to werver wms version 1.3…is this what the plugin is for?
I did find this thread about it…

http://old.nabble.com/inspire-community-module-td30475673.html

which talks about a new metadata editor within geoserver. Does the metadata conform to INSPIRE then?

thanks for any info,

Robert

The plugin is to add INSPIRE specific view service parameters. We’re still working on it, and I keep neglecting to do a blog post on it. Right now it populates the inspire extended capabilities params with geoserver metadata fields. The only new editable one is the language though. We’re figuring out now how to handle more. You can get versions that correspond with releases at

http://files.opengeo.org/inspire/

But there are 3-4 bugs fixed that need to wait for RC2.

Ah…I see.

Then it´s a new metadata textbox for the ogc service, but not for the individual layers. I was thinking along the lines of offering extended metatdata textboxes for each layer. I´ve never understood why the metdatalink button was there and how this could be used to offer metadata about layers stores within geoserver.

Do you have any idea how others have solved the problem of linking metadata with geoserver layers? I am now burdened with the task of having to publish metadata about layers served over wms/wfs and am honestly not sure how this can be linked with geoserver.

yours,

Robert

That sounds like work for GeoNetwork (which does ship with GeoServer integrated
so that one can handle metadata, searches and data publishing at the same time)

Just to clarify a few things, to make sure we’re on the same page. Publishing full metadata is a task for a CSW, like GeoNetwork, as Andrea says. One current hassle though is that GeoServer has a subset of full metadata fields (title, abstract, keywords, etc.), so currently one publishing a service has to manually keep the two in sync (the geonetwork full metadata and the geoserver service metadata). We solve this problem in GeoNode - http://geonode.org It lets you edit metadata in one place and then keeps both geonetwork and geoserver in sync.

The GeoServer metadata link is just to provide a link to an ISO or FGDC metadata document, and it’s up to the user to keep it all up to date. In GeoNode we automatically make the metadata link in GeoServer, and the WMS/WFS links in GeoNetwork.

I’m actually talking to our client right now about potentially improving it, doing something where GeoServer is able to read in or transform the linked metadata in to the capabilities document, to help avoid filling it all out multiple times.

yours,

Robert
