GeoNetwork harvester for CKAN

Main purposes:

  • Handle some GeoNetwork specific coding (e.g. protocol in onlineResource may map to specific format, mimetype CKAN fields)
  • Provide other heuristics tailored to GeoNetwork metadata handling (license, …)
  • Some schemas may provide GML elements with the namespace URI http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2 while the standard CKAN CSW harvester parses elements with the http://www.opengis.net/gml namespace. This should be configurable.
  • Since GeoNetwork provides also front-end services, the harvester may build some extras fields containing URL pointing to well-known services.
