consider a getrecordbyid response wrapper when trying to import iso19139

[pvgenuchten]

when querying a CSW record by id like https://geoportal.icpac.net/catalogue/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetRecordById&outputschema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&elementsetname=full&id=de811536-eaf8-11ec-80b2-0242ac170007, csw responds with an iso document wrapped in a getrecordbyid response object

owslib fails to parse the wrapped record

does it make sense to enable owslib to identify if a wrapper is used, and if so, fetch the internal metadata object and parse it?

  resp = req.get('https://geoportal.icpac.net/catalogue/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetRecordById&outputschema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&elementsetname=full&id=87c0b1e2-b0cf-11ec-890e-0242ac160007')
  doc = etree.XML(resp.text)
  nsmap = {}
  for ns in doc.xpath('//namespace::*'):
      if ns[0]:
          nsmap[ns[0]] = ns[1]
  md = m.xpath('gmd:MD_Metadata', namespaces=nsmap)
  m2 = MD_Metadata(md[0])

Or could i better use the embedded csw cient

from owslib.csw import CatalogueServiceWeb
csw = CatalogueServiceWeb('https://geoportal.icpac.net/catalogue/csw')
csw.getrecordbyid(id=['de811536-eaf8-11ec-80b2-0242ac17000'])

For pyCSW consider to use getrepositoryitem to fetch the inner xml document

https://geoportal.icpac.net/catalogue/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetRepositoryItem&outputschema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&elementsetname=full&id=de811536-eaf8-11ec-80b2-0242ac170007
