W-12: GeoNetwork for dummies, or how to setup an SDI in 3 hours
The workshop will focus on the implementation of a GeoNetwork opensource based catalog to serve and access geospatial data in a Spatial Data Infrastructure.
A local catalog will be installed and configured. Harvesting of spatial data resources from remote servers will be configured and geospatial web map services will be set up using the embedded GeoServer and configured for access through the catalog web interface.
Participants will create INSPIRE compliant metadata and learn how to develop and use custom metadata templates based on the ISO19115/19119 metadata standards. Participants will use the catalog in different ways, including the web interface and OGC-CSW ISO. The new ebRIM CSW ISO interface, the OAI-MHP and GeoRSS protocols will be introduced.
Attention will also be given to import and export functionality of the catalog that allow integration of the publishing process in existing workflows like desktop GIS or operational data processing servers using free and proprietary tools.
