Hi,
I was looking at the layer configurations of geoserver and noticed the metadata link config. Is this new or have a just overseen it?
It’s not new. But it’s just a field you fill out, doesn’t do any automatic linking with anything.
Regarding metadata and geoserver I have the following questions.
- How can I link a layer name to an xml file?
I’m not sure what you mean here. But if you fill out that metadata link on the layer then it’ll include that in the capabilities in GeoServer
- Is there a to link metadata from Geonetwork?
Yeah, it’s not a great link, they never made really readable links, so it’s just the CSW call. But an example is: http://demo.geonode.org/geonetwork/srv/en/csw?outputschema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&service=CSW&request=GetRecordById&version=2.0.2&elementsetname=full&id=7bbcae0b-37ba-46f1-8293-3bb5598d7964
- What is the easiest way to keep metadata and geoserver together and up to date?
We’ve talked about doing some nice direct GeoNetwork/GeoServer thing where they communicate directly together, but no one’s implemented. In our GeoNode project we do keep the two in sync, but we abstract out the UI for both, so using Django is the only way to edit the service properties for either. It’s nice because it keeps the links between the two right, and also has their abstract, keywords, etc. stay the same. But we use python to do the coordination, using the service interfaces of both (CSW transactions and RESTConfig), so we can’t easily incorporate it in to GeoServer.
Wouldn´t it be good if geoserver offered a metadata editor which kept the data and it´s metadata together?
We decided to do that in GeoNode. I suppose one could build a java metadata editor that talked CSW.
…or can I do this already?
Nope, for now you have to keep them in sync yourself.

Chris
