The pycsw development team is happy to announce that pycsw 1.10 is now
certified OGC Compliant for OGC CSW 2.0.2 [1], and passes all CITE
tests.

In addition, pycsw 1.10 is now an official OGC Reference
Implementation. A demonstration instance of the reference
implementation is available at http://demo.pycsw.org.

“Reference Implementations are an important piece of community
compliance tools,” said Luis Bermudez, Executive Director Compliance
and E-Learning, Open Geospatial Consortium. “They not only support OGC
verifying that new releases of the tests are not breaking previous
implementations, but also provide practical help to new developers
that want to implement the standard. pycsw has been Reference
Implementation of CAT 2.0 for over 2 years since version 1.4. OGC
appreciates the effort of the OSGeo community to keep pycsw compliant
with the current CAT 2.0 test.”

Standards are at the core of pycsw; acheiving OGC compliance and
reference implementation status is part of the project’s ongoing
commitment to an open source, standards-based metadata and catalogue
component of spatial data infrastructures.

pycsw is an OGC Compliant CSW server implementation written in Python.
