[OSGeodata] Re: [Geotools-devel] On the catalog tutorial

[Stefan F. Keller]

Jody - Thanks for the enlightening answers. I like chicken-and-eggs: You
have 'your' (Geo)Tools and some discovery services - say that's the
chicken - and I can finally release my eggs, namely GMDB (not the music db!)
as open source metadata editor and geometa.info as a discovery portal (nice
term). AND we got OAI-PMH! :-O

Fine; so I now finalized the model and put all field status on "Ok?" in
order to ask for confirmation (or perdition...)

For dc:identifier we used the following convention:

Added database. But I don't see any (local) uniqueness behind the
dc:identifier you mention?

Do you want to consider multi lingual support on the human readable

Ok; added encoding hints to the model for strings (for URI it should be
clear).

Looking into your question about "description" vs. "abstract"... (for

Confuses me: Why don't you say that the abstract text out of WFS
capabilities goes into dc:description?
