design QGIS interface to catalogue #8

Use Case

A QGIS InaSAFE user does not have their own hazard or exposure data but they want to run some InaSAFE impact functions for their area of interest.

  1. instead of searching their local filesystem, the user has the option to 'Find online data'
  2. Browse / search options (use existing plugins like Metatools or Metasearch or other existing CSW client work):
    1. QGIS connects to http://oondra.kartoza.com (Geonode/pyCSW) and allows a normal metadata browsing session
    2. The user enters search terms and QGIS returns from http://oondra.kartoza.com the results of the search
  3. The user selects a data source for use in the InaSAFE session
  4. QGIS follows links in the metadata to download the hazard / exposure layer
  5. raster via WCS (or as per metadata)
  6. vector via WFS (or as per metadata)
    • into a memory layer
    • clipped to users AOI if appropriate
  7. User is given the option to download another layer or to go back to QGIs/InaSAFE to continue

Note: Metadata records on http://oondra.kartoza.com will be structured for InaSAFE ingestion

@lucernae please proceed with this at your earliest convenience - in a new InaSAFE feature branch?

Note this ticket is about clarifying the design (UI and UX) so only start coding when we've agreed on the design (unless you want to code mockups)

@NyakudyaA use this Issue for the QGIS testing you're busy with. We're not going to develop any new QGIS interface in this project now so move the appropriate components to an upstream InaSAFE ticket as discussed in our standup and document a working procedure.

mostly available in MetaSearch and through WB GeoSAFE extension work
