Do you mean outputschema and not typename? A valid CSW MUST support
typname csw:Record typename and outputschema
http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2 as baseline.

Good catch.  You are right, pycsw always does CSW harvesting using the
Dublin Core output, not ISO.  The initial implementation of CSW
harvesting was focused on the core CSW baseline requirement of Dublin
Core, which every CSW is required to implement/support.

Having said this, sounds like a great idea to support CSW harvesting
of ISO metadata.  We could probably add a configuration value which
allows the pycsw admin to specify how CSW harvesting can be done.

Can you file an enhancement ticket at
https://github.com/geopython/pycsw/issues/new ?

Thanks
