Multiple character encodings for Catalogue Record #103

Open jakubklimek opened 3 months ago

jakubklimek commented 3 months ago

Problem statement GeoDCAT-AP 2.0.0 defines multiplicity 0..n for character encoding on Catalogue Record.

Given that:

  1. It is unclear what exactly this should mean.
  2. The INSPIRE Metadata Technical Guidelines talk only about character encodings of dataset and series, not metadata itself.
  3. In the XSLT transformation of ISO 19139 to GeoDCAT-AP, it looks like only one value of this property is expected on the metadata level.
  4. In the OGC XML Schema for MD_Metadata, this character set code is represented as 0..1

this seems like a bug.

Proposal Restrict the multiplicity to 0..1

Based on #88 , Character encoding will be removed from CatalogueRecord completely.
