<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Paul, all,<br>
<br>
It was very nice meeting at FOSS4G, and probably the first time to
have so many (catalogue) projects represented on the table.<br>
Thanks Tom for taking care of mailing list creation.<br>
<br>
During the FOSS4G closing party I was able to have a small meeting
with Markus Schneider from deegree and discussed about the BOF
decisions. Markus, this is the mailing list, please join us :)<br>
<br>
Paul, thanks for covering all the items discussed.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Angelos<br>

list, i guess this is the first email in this list, so welcome to
you all.
<br>
It was great meeting some of you last week in Nottingham.
<br>
<br>
Let me first quote a message from last june that started this
thing:
<br>
<br>
"I guess most of you will be available in Nottingham this
september. I hope at some point we can meet (in a BOF session or
similar) to discuss beter interoperability between the open source
metadata servers and clients. Mostly targetting the use case, find
a dataset -> view a dataset. But any other issue suggested by
one of you is appreciated.
<br>
<br>
Recently I noticed there is still quite some mis-matching in the
products out there due to different implementations. Clients as
Geonode, Qgis where not able to display an "add to map" button for
some geonetwork metadata. But even if the button is presented,
still some optimisations could be agreed upon. One of the goals
would be to have a seamless user experience (find->display) and
prevent for example the situation where in the CSW client a user
should specify the type of metadata catalogue (s)he wants to add
data from.
<br>
<br>
For this session i hope following products can join, we'd be able
to agree on some minimal implementation "best practices", and we
can put out a document like <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DCLite4G">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/DCLite4G</a>."
<br>
<br>
And I should refer to the BOF-announcement page at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_BirdsOfAFeather#Maps_and_Metadata_BOF">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_BirdsOfAFeather#Maps_and_Metadata_BOF</a>
<br>
<br>
I didn't really take notes at the actual BOF session, maybe one of
you did?
<br>
Some comments:
<br>
- We had people from geonetwork, pycsw, qgis, ckan, geonode at the
table (and openlayers, gxp, deegree not in the bof, but around to
chat with)
<br>
- First agreed action was to set up this list (thanx Tom)
<br>
- By the end of coming month we want to have a best practive
document ready to suggest an interoperable Geo DC practice.
<br>
- In 3 months to come, implementers can implement this practice in
their software
<br>
- Next is to set up some interoperability experiments (put some
reference datasets on next OSGeo Live dvd)
<br>
- Status of CSW 3, some of us were able to get their hands on some
drafts and have started implementing, others were not aware yet,
in CSW 3 some flaws from CSW 2 have been erased
<br>
- the Faceted search, Linked data agenda proposals were not
discussed -> left for this list
<br>
<br>
I hope we can have some good cooperation in this list and have
some interoperable usecases sson (at least within osgeo)
