9 years ago From Tanya - I think this sounds like a good ticket for GitHub. There have been a few places where using “or” in the path logic would be nice. The fix can be applied in potentially 2 locations I’m fairly certain that the same type of fix is necessary for these older issues:
- https://github.com/Ecotrust/wc-data-registry/issues/100 and possibly
- https://github.com/Ecotrust/wc-data-registry/issues/99 which are about Dublin Core Metadata. Not sure if this is only an edit on the UI side, or if anything is necessary on the Geoportal side.

From Allison - In doing so, I discovered that there are two possible locations for online linkages to go. They are both within the MD_Distribution Section. You can either put them in the gmd:transferOptions section (which is at the same level as gmd:distributor section). Or, you can put them in the MD_Distributor Section in the gmd:distributorTransferOptions which is a subsection of gmd:distributor.
In the WCODP, it looks like it pulls links from gmd:transferOptions, but not from gmd:distributorTransferOptions
I’m wondering if it’s something that could be added to the list for Point97. (Or if it is an easy fix that doesn’t require them). I don’t think there is any reason not to pull from either location. (In fact, I’m not exactly sure why there is a distinction within the metadata standard….).
I’m attaching a couple pages from the ISO metadata workbook showing the hierarchy. Also, I created a metadata record that has the same links in both places so you can see an example. You can also see the outcome on the dev portal if you’re interested: http://wcga-vm01.sdsc.edu/discover/#?s=Sound%20GIS%20Test&text=surfrider
