</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As I have branched the QGCSW plugin to work on new features I am wanting to include some testing.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So far, until something gets going with SOGEO or OGC I think our tests will be base don a local install of GeoNetwork.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This means that at least we know the server is compliant to CSW.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I figure starting with the sample data shipped with geonetwork and then maybe creating our own testing records.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There is another plugin in the works to manage metadata, so this solution could work for them too on submitting records to a local geonetwork install.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does this sound like a good start?</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Cheers</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN>
