<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Very interesting! I see I have to take a closer look on pycsw and it`s front-ends (as a possible alternative to GeoNetwork).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">The pycsw documentation [1] says that also pycsw Metadata repositories are set up with a database backend (SQLite, PostgreSQL, and even PostGIS
support). However, integration with data portal solutions like e.g. GeoNode or Open Data Catalogue is unfortunately “read-only” meaning that meta-data can be only queried [2].<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Would be nice if metadata from GRASS could somehow go directly into a geodata portal (and that the other way around e.g. people, keywords … could
be fetched from there)… (BTW, in the proprietary world such a functionality requires yet another extension: <a href="https://www.geocat.net/bridge/" target="_blank">https://www.geocat.net/bridge/</a>)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">For organization with a geodata portal solution it is maybe possible to just sync pycsw`s DB with a DB from e.g. GeoNode or so, if one wants to
have that consistent…<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Will pycsw become a dependency for GRASS (with metadata support)?</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div>
Yes it is. Currently there are no packages for Debian. Pycsw has dependency on SQLalchemy, shapely and pyproj. I have info that debian package will probably be created during a few months.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">And will it be necessary, that pycsw runs on the same computer as GRASS (meaning also one pycsw for each GRASS installation) or could that somehow
be centralized (in other words that GRASS connects to a central pycsw)?</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div>Yes of course, the pycsw is providing csw catalogue which can run on a local pc (localhost) or on a server. Our vision is to make an interface based on OWSLib and pycsw which produces essential functions like browsing based on filtering, harvesting and publishing metadata to csw catalogue. The user will be able to choose csw catalogue target like a localhost(probably SQLite) or catalogue on internet. This task will part of GSOC term and after...</div>
