RSS/ATOM feed for metadata changes #77

Open lmika-bom opened 9 years ago

lmika-bom commented 9 years ago

Brought up during discussions with user of OpenWIS that is consuming metadata to produce derivative work.

At the moment, OpenWIS has a notion of "Whats New": a display of metadata record IDs that have been recently added or changed. It might be useful to set-up a machine readable version of this list --- something that users can subscribe to trigger automated processes when metadata changes. A good technology for providing this feature would be an RSS or ATOM feed.

Consider adding such a feed to the user portal. It might be necessary to add a number of feeds based on what updates the user wants to receive:

- Metadata types (non-stopgap metadata, all metadata)
- Update operations (newly added metadata, updated metadata)

Note: it might be best to hold off on this task until work has begun on porting OpenWIS to Geonetworks 3.0

Revisit for v4, if still relevant. There is an RSS feed on GeoNetworks but it only covers all metadata. That might be enough though.

reopened since OpenWIS v3.x is in maintenance mode for next 6 years so this still applies
