Release Notes

The features of GeoNetwork opensource v2.0.0 include: (for InterMap opensource 2.0.0 features see below)

• Search index is capable of handling large amounts of metadata. The indexing is build using Jakarta Lucene.
• Support for metadata based on the ISO19115, FGDC and Dublin Core standards -- This support includes:
  • storing and indexing of metadata in its original format
  • displaying search results in a uniform way
  • searching through the metadata in a uniform way
  • editing the different metadata standards online in default, advanced and XML mode
  • access to the full set of ISO19115 and FGDC metadata elements through the generic online editor
  • validation of metadata based on XSD schema's
  • import of XML formatted metadata and possible conversion of the input file through XSL transformation
  • batch import of XML formatted metadata and possible conversion of the input files through XSL transformation
  • generating of small and large thumbnails based on an input file in JPEG, PNG or GIF format (ISO19115 only).
• Metadata harvesting mechanism. -- The harvesting mechanism has the following characteristics:
  • The application can be scheduled to harvest metadata from other catalogues. (harvesting and access through Catalog Services for the Web 2 (CSW2) is under development and will be released in version 2.1 of GeoNetwork opensource)
  • The full set of query parameters used to search the GeoNetwork catalog are also available for harvesting jobs.
  • Harvesting can also harvest secured metadata, e.g. for interagency metadata sharing.
  • Harvested metadata provides instant access to metadata when searching while the data for download and related services remain at the originating agency.
  • Attribution logo of originating agency with every harvested metadata.
• Category system. Metadata can be moderated on a per node basis. This allows a node to group metadata that relate to the target audience, independently of the descriptions as provided by the metadata author.
• Featured metadata. Metadata can be defined as featured. Featured metadata will randomly appear on the homepage of the GeoNetwork opensource website. The refresh rate of featured metadata can be defined by the system administrator.
• Recently updated metadata. A list of most recently updated content is available from the homepage.
• Fully scalable user interface, adapting to the size of the browser window.
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for most user interface style information. This allows for a quick customization of the GUI.
• Fully XML/XSLT based, separating content from presentation. XSL templates define the output format and lay out. Although currently only HTML is generated, other output formats can be generated at will through new XSLT templates.
• Global unique identifiers (UUID) generated for all new metadata records.
• Metadata Template system. This system allows to quickly create new metadata entries. -- It provides the following functions:
  • A template can be fully customized online and can be pre-filled with repetitive content (contact information for example).
  • Templates can be searched in the same way normal metadata is searched.
  • Only editors and administrators have access to templates.
  • Templates can be created for specific user groups
• Email notification system to groups for triggered downloads of data sets.
• Online administration of Users, Groups and Categories.
• Online clean up of left over metadata
• Online administration of users by dedicated User Administrators (group specific)
• Z39.50 (OGC Catalog Services for the Web 1.0) Server and Client functionality.
• Migration application for the migration of GeoNetwork 1 based content into the new system.
• Support for publishing and using OGC Web Map Services and ESRI ArcIMS map services.
• User community website with a documentation center and software center available at http://geonetwork.sourceforge.net
