Subject: Configuring Pycsw GetCapabilities response

Hi,

Please see https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/forum/discussion/view/264495/configuring-pycsw-ckan-plugin-to-pass-inspire-discovery-service-validation

I'm testing a CSW implemented with pycsw (as a CKAN plugin) to run an INSPIRE Discovery Service.

The one I'm testing is at https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/csw?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=CSW&VERSION=2.0.2

It fails validation (https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/211), and that might be because it only declares the "inspire_ds" XML namespace (http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/inspire_ds/1.0) by means of a local xsi:schemaLocation attribute on the inspire_ds:ExtendedCapabilities element.

I could argue that that is valid XML, but it may be easier to configure the pycsw GetCapabilities response document to declare the schemaLocations in the root element, as suggested by Iurie (https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/211#issuecomment-583489179)
I can't see a documented way to change this, And the FAQ mentioned at https://pycsw.org/community/ has gone, as has the Google+ group (but that was Google). So, I'm hoping someone is still subscribed to the email list!
