"Source dataset" puts a reference in lineage as "source" #8

In GeoNetwork there is a frame titled "Associated Resources" in the right-hand column by which one associates various resources to the metadata record. For the most part, such associations can also be captured in the main editor. This interface allows one to browse to the resource to link. However, there are several issues with this interface: It is poorly named. "Associated Resources" would suggest the entries land in the "mri:associatedResource" element The options under "Add" do not adequately indicate which packages and elements they populate. It is difficult to modify where these linkages land when there is more than one possible approach, e.g. coupledResource vs. operatedDataset vs. operatesOn Associated resources -> "Add" -> "Link to source dataset" puts a reference in lineage as "source". While this may be useful, this result is not indicated. There is not a method to capture "Coupled Resource". Source dataset puts a reference in lineage as “source”. While useful, it is not apparent in the interface that this will be the result.

"Associated resources" -> "Add" -> "Link to source dataset" puts a reference in lineage as "source". This is not a method to capture "Coupled Resource", should be more clear. In GN there is a frame titled "Associated Resources" in right hand column in which various types of resources can be associated to the metadata record. For the most part, such associations can be also captured in the metadata itself. This interface allows one to browse to the resource to link. However, there are several issues with this interface:
