Changes to DS_TOPIC documentation #22

Open nmtoken opened 3 years ago

nmtoken commented 3 years ago

Ref: https://onegeology.github.io/documentation/providingdata.html#service-provision-onegeology-profile-layer-keywords

Currently states:

We anticipate that most layers would have a DS_TOPIC@geoscientificinformation keyword.

Change case of keyword to:

We anticipate that most layers would have a DS_TOPIC@geoscientificInformation keyword.

In the following text, the link no longer resolves to a list of iso keywords

A good reference to the categories and what they represent is found at: https://gcmd.nasa.gov/add/difguide/iso_topics.html.

Perhaps use:

The last version on the Internet Archive (http://web.archive.org/web/20160315070539/https://gcmd.nasa.gov/add/difguide/iso_topics.html) has the all lower case version although that is inconsistent with others; presumably that was the source of our original recommendation.

An Internet search for "ISO_Topic_Category" gives a couple of possible replacements for the above link:

They both have the lowerCamelCase version of the keyword. Do we have access to the original ISO document to check?

bgsmase commented 3 years ago

The catalogue http://onegeology-geonetwork.brgm.fr/geonetwork3/srv/eng/catalog.search#/home has a large number of resources catalogued under the topic "Geoscientific information" and lists "Geoscientific information" as a keyword to search for although these don't appear explicitly in the service capabilities. How have these appeared?

I have a copy of ISO 19115 next to my desk, it should list the keywords.

Possibly GeoNetwork is being clever with showing Geoscientific information as the human readable translation of the keyword,

nmtoken commented 3 years ago

The new ISO 19115-1 standard uses camelCase geoscientificInformation

Not sure if we should reference this schema document over a more user friendly list
