[pycsw-devel] SchemaLanguage for DescribeRecords Request

[Axel Schaefer]

Hi all.

I'm using pycsw 1.10.0 and try to build up an apiso conformant service. 
I created some test cases and found an issue with the DescribeRecord 
request.

One simple request is:

<csw:DescribeRecord xmlns:csw="http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2 
http://schemas.opengis.net/csw/2.0.2/CSW-discovery.xsd" 
schemaLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" service="CSW" 
version="2.0.2">
   <csw:TypeName>csw:Record</csw:TypeName>
</csw:DescribeRecord>

pycsw answers:

  <ows:ExceptionText>Invalid value for schemalanguage: 
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</ows:ExceptionText>
   </ows:Exception>

If I change the schemaLanguage to http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema, it works.

As far as I understand, the definition of the schemaLanguage is placed 
in http://schemas.opengis.net/iso/19139/20070417/gmd/gmd.xsd:

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

And my guess is that the definition of the DescribeRecord response is 
also with this namespace.

Is there a way to customize pycsw to understand this namespace?

Thanks in advance and best regards.
