Hi Bruce and John,<br>
<br>
If you're asking just simply about the differences between the <br>
Australian profile and ISO19115/19139 then I'm sure John Hockaday and no
<br>
doubt others have presentations that will give all the details (I think
<br>
John's presentation to the metadata open forum in Sydney would be a good
<br>
place to look).<br>
<br>
If the question is wondering why a profile which isn't vastly different
<br>
to ISO19139/19115 took a while to implement in GeoNetwork then maybe you
<br>
need to think about some of the surrounding issues. First and foremost,
<br>
there is the question of schema parsing in GeoNetwork to build an <br>
editable representation of any 19139/19119 based metadata record - this
<br>
was working in the BlueNet MEST 1.0 release in October/November 2007 <br>
(after the OSDM sponsored GeoNetwork workshop) and in trunk 2.1 - but <br>
some of the more arcane stuff wasn't sorted out until Dec 07 (it was <br>
incorporated in the trunk for the 2.2 RC0 release in the first week of
<br>
Jan 08).<br>
<br>
At the same time, there was the problem of a general method of <br>
supporting more than one profile of ISO19139 (a variation on existing <br>
support for different metadata standards) in GeoNetwork and the extra <br>
problems of adding support to GeoNetwork to find and use the ancillaries
<br>
associated with the different profiles, including:<br>
<br>
- schematrons for content checking: CSIRO developed them for ANZLIC, we
<br>
included them in the validation report and added support for error flags
<br>
in the editor<br>
- xslts to convert to/from the new profiles: developing (we developed <br>
one for the Marine Community Profile, and there was the ANZLIC supplied
<br>
on), testing and including in the tools<br>
- menus to support profile groupings of elements eg. ANZLIC Minimum, <br>
ANZLIC Core for data sets etc<br>
<br>
and probably others that I've (happily!) forgotten.<br>
<br>
Ideas for implementing profiles were also not very accessible - we <br>
followed discussions on SEEGRID and used the WMO profile as an <br>
additional example - and it follows that there were very few (if any) <br>
accessible metadata tools that handled profiles and ancillary info at <br>
that time.<br>
<br>
Of course, like most things, this will be looked upon as 'straight <br>
forward' with the benefit of hindsight and as it moves into the main <br>
stream :-).<br>
<br>
Hopefully this might provide some of the answers to your question <br>
(assuming I've understood it correctly)!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Simon<br>
