77. v4 RET - DDS1 Download offer

[rogers492]

The migrated version only shows the ‘subscribe’ action in the sample entries of the Search screen. It is possible that the metadata itself needs to have specific characteristics in order for the ‘Deliver’ and ‘Download’ actions to become available. Further investigation is required.

Furthermore, it is very important to point out that GN v3.2.0 appears to feature its own download mechanism. This shows a Download button in the UI but not in the same place as OpenWIS. It is possible that OpenWIS would like to integrate this functionality into its own delivery methods.

This task was part of the OpenWISv4/GeoNetworksv3 work package assigned to GeoCat in 2015. The documentation produced as part of that work describes the new functionality delivered.

The outcome for this feature was:

2015 status: MO Test; Percent complete: 100; Priority: Normal; Questions outstanding: nil;

Extra info:

GeoNetwork shall be amended such that, when the conditions outlined below are met, a user is presented with the opportunity to download or subscribe to the dataset described by the metadata record they are viewing.
