Hi,
I am concerned about adding metadata file with shapefile as we distribute
public data with intellectual property.
I just read the thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/geoserver-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg11422.html
where some of you has been talking about it.
What I would like to do is modify SHAPE-ZIP format and add .shp.xml (or not)
taking it from MetadataURL in WMS Capabilities document.
I found this tutorial
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Create+your+own+Output+Format as a good
start but I'd appreciate some advices on the implementation:
I was planning to modify the template like this:
zip=${typename}
shp=${typename}${geometryType}
txt=wfsrequest
xml=${typename}
and then create a fonction to get the MetadataFile in the class
ShapeZipOutputFormat which would get the capabilities document from wms service
and than parse it to get the url and finally get the Metadata document to add
it to the zip file.
Theoritically it doesn't seems too hard, but it is the first time I'm diving
into Geoserver source code and I would appreciate some advices if you don't
mind.
I wanted to check also if you are not implementing it and if you would be
interested in my modification ?
Thanks in advance,
Sylvie Fiat
