[OSGeo-Announce] pycsw enters OSGeo Incubation

[Anne Ghisla]

The OSGeo Board is pleased to announce that it has approved the
application by the pycsw project [1] to enter the incubation [2]
process. Incubation is a stepping stone to becoming a full fledged
OSGeo project.

pycsw is an OGC CSW server implementation written in Python.

pycsw fully implements the OpenGIS Catalogue Service Implementation
Specification [Catalogue Service for the Web]. Initial development
started in 2010 (more formally announced in 2011). The project is
certified OGC Compliant, and is an OGC Reference Implementation.

pycsw allows for the publishing and discovery of geospatial metadata.
Existing repositories of geospatial metadata can also be exposed via
OGC:CSW 2.0.2, providing a standards-based metadata and catalogue
component of spatial data infrastructures.
