Metadata (TG version 1.3) keyords from other dictionaries are not acceped #197

Closed iuriemaxim closed 4 years ago

iuriemaxim commented 4 years ago

A metadata file made according to version 1.3 of the TG for Metadata will not pass the tests if it has keywords from other dictionaries then those present in the code.

However, both TG 1.3 and 2.0 allows users to provide other keywords from other dictionaries.

Test that fails: md.iso.f.1: Dataset keyword

Even the text of the test is incorrect according to TG. It states: "The test checks for each descriptiveKeywords block if it references either http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/inspire_themes or any duplicate of that thesaurus, e.g. http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme."

The test should not check that EACH descriptiveKeywords block is referenced to that particular schema, but that there is AT LEAST ONE descriptiveKeyword block that is referenced to that particular schema.

For example adding the keyword "National" to indicate the "Spatial Scope" of the dataset as required by INSPIRE MIG in 2019 as can be seen at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/wikis/display/InspireMIG/Spatial+scope+code+list will fail the test.

There is correctly implemented.**

Dear @iuriemaxim

The metadata 1.3 and metadata 2.0 corresponds with different Technical Guidelines and there is not backward compatibility between them.

Additionally, the support to metadata 1.3 ended on December 2019. So the discussion is not meaningful anymore.
