Hello Mats, hello Andrea, hello Niels,

thanks for the information!

We just installed the newest version of geoserver (2.20.2) together with the 
CSW-plugin, the CSW-ISO-plugin and the metadata-plugin. Unfortunately the 
srv-namespace is still missing (as discribed below in my first mail).

It seems that Niels has an idea how to solve this problem, see below. As far as 
I am not familiar with programming in Java and the compiling- and Maven-stuff 
(I only know Python and some Javascript), we need some help. („We“ means: We 
are a team of 4 people doing the GIS-stuff in the administration of 
Norderstedt, a town in Northern-Germany.)

We talked to the head of our department and it seems to be the best not only to 
solve this particular problem, but having a longterm support for our geoserver. 
(We still want to host it by our own.)

We are intrested that the CSW-ISO-plugin and the metadata-plugin become part of 
the core modules. What we now need is (at least) one offer.
As far as I do not know how the politics in the geoserver-project work, 
espacially what is needed that a community-module becomes a core-extension, I 
can first of all only ask into the blue:

It seems that Niels is most familiar with the CSW-ISO-plugin. So @Niels: Can 
you make us an offer to fix the issue, put the two modules in the core and 
supports us for (at least) one year?

If Niels can’t make or force the decision that the modules become part of the 
core-extension, who can do this? Maybe GeoSolutions? @Andrea: If that’s the 
case can you help us with an offer from GeoSolutions?

Another idea would be to combine these two options, e.g.: Niels fixes the 
plugin(s), GeoSolutions put’s the plugins into the core and we get one year 
support from GeoSolutions or from Niels.

So we now need some input from your side for making a decision.

Best regards,

Hello Heiko,

I believe the namespaces for CSW-ISO are hard coded in 
org.geoserver.csw.records.iso.MetaDataDescriptor, though I cannot guarantee 
that adding it there is all that is needed to resolve your issue. Perhaps it 
would be interesting making this a configurable thing.

Kind Regards

Niels

Dear Mats and Heiko,

Andrea is mostly right; however one correction: I do not mind at all giving 
free email support for problems with installation and configuration of the 
community modules (not for actual dev/depl work of course). However, it is true 
that it is often necessary to ping me specifically, unfortunately.

I can assure you that the modules do work, since they are in use by several 
government departments (not all of them deployed by me). It is definitely 
possible the documentation needs improvement, so it would be great to hear the 
issues that others are having with it.

It would actually be in the interest of the current users if the modules were 
used by more users, and they are very aware of that.

Kind Regards

Niels

(CSW-plugin, the CSW-ISO-plugin, meta-data plugin and the INSPIRE plugin).

The part that is supported is the CSW core with Dublin Core records only. The 
others are marked as unsupported for a reason :-)

Since it is a mix of supported and unsupported plugins, no one seems able to 
even identify what needs to be done.

This is incorrect. There are plenty of people that could, but it would require 
significant effort, more than can be spent answering a mail.
The ISO plugin was written by Niels Charlier on behalf of Boundless. Boundless 
is no more, Niels showed no desire to get
involved with user support on the free channels... As a result, nobody can give 
you the "5 minutes answer", the only type of
answer that you'll get on this list, or on stack overflow.

There are other options, but they involve spending money:

  *   Contact Niels and get a contract to solve your particular problem.
  *   Contact any commercial support provider<http://geoserver.org/support/> 
involving a core developer. These people can use part of the contract to get up 
to speed with the module, and provide a fix. This would come with a significant 
by-product, core developers _are_ answering on this list... meaning you'll open 
the path for simple free answers in the future. It does not have to be you, but 
there needs to be a seed customer that triggers this process.
I have been struggling with this since summer, and I can tell you this: 
Following the installation and configuring advice in the manual does not work. 
Perhaps this is the error, and the plugins actually do work. One cannot tell.
Another advice I got is that no one uses these extensions, which may be why no 
one cares to fix them.

As far as I know, there is just one user (and guess who's providing support and 
development to them?).
Same happens for the meta-data module.

Cheers
Andrea

Hi Friedrich!
I am afraid that the whole geoserver csw and metadata subsystems seem broken 
(CSW-plugin, the CSW-ISO-plugin, meta-data plugin and the INSPIRE plugin).

This is sad, because Geoserver could be a great platform for publishing geodata 
AND valid metadata from the same point.

Hello everybody,

I tried wo write that problem to the issue-board ( 
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/GEOS/issues ) but I 
can’t login although I have an account. So I trie it here, maybe somebody can 
help.

We are using the geoserver CSW-plugin, the CSW-ISO-plugin and the meta-data 
plugin. In one of these plugins the namespaces for the CSW-service is set. I 
don’t know in which of these.

Unfortunately the srv-namespace is missing ( 
xmlns:srv=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/srv ). (In CSW-services from other 
mapservers the srv-namespace is available, e.g.: 
https://geoportal-hamburg.de/metaver_de/csw?service=CSW&request=GetRecordById&version=2.0.2&outputschema=http:%2F%2Fwww.isotc211.org%2F2005%2Fgmd&elementsetname=full&id=9784D2A9-AEEA-46DF-9FAD-2FA14BFCA00D
 )

Before we updated to geoserver version 2.20.1 there was also the gml-namespace 
missing, but know it works… ☺

Maybe somebody can tell me in which of the plugins the namespace is set, if I 
can configure it somewhere of if it is a bug and it has to be fixed?


Kind regards!
Heiko Friedrich
