Add multilingual support to metadata authoring #959

Open kbraak opened 9 years ago

kbraak commented 9 years ago 
Initial investigation revealed that the GBIF EML Metadata Profile does not have extensive
multilingual support. 

EML supports internationalization using the i18nNonEmptyStringType.

Currently, the GBIF EML Metadata Profile implements multilingual support only for the
title element. It does so using a complex type called i18nString.

For more information on the EML Specification, see: http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.1.1/index.html#N101A3

What version of the provider software are you using?
Version 2.0.4

https://code.google.com/p/gbif-metadata/source/detail?r=402 added a lang
attribute to title, abstract and keywords so they can be multilingual.

Will the resource summary page have an option to see these fields in different languages,
and will all the versions be scanned by Google (for example)?

When metadata exists in more than one language, it will be made apparent to viewers
of the resource page. How this will be implemented hasn't been decided yet. Getting
all versions of the metadata indexed by Google would be a big plus, agreed.
