setting parent metadata #212

Closed juliepierson closed 3 years ago

juliepierson commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to set a parent metadata for a metadata. When doing it with geoflow XML looks like this :

<gmd:parentIdentifier xmlns:gfc="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gfc" xmlns:gmi="http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-2/gmi/1.0" xmlns:gmlcov="http://www.opengis.net/gmlcov/1.0" xmlns:gmlrgrid="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.3/rgrid"> <gmx:Anchor xlink:href="https://catalogue/parent-identifier">parent-identifier</gmx:Anchor> </gmd:parentIdentifier>

whereas when I do it by hand in GeoNetwork it looks like this :

`

parent-identifier ` When doing it with geoflow it does not show in the geonetwork interface, whereas it works ok when doing it from geonetwork. Is this something to do with how GeoNetwork handles parent and children metadata ? Can I make it work with geoflow ? Thanks again !

Normally, any gco:CharacterString can be replaced by a gmx:Anchor tag which allows to specify an URI attached to the string. In geoflow, we map the parent identifier to a parent relation, which necessarily has an URI (although we have a control of it with is.null - see https://github.com/eblondel/geoflow/blob/master/R/geoflow_action_geometa_create_iso_19115.R#L90), so we always end up with an Anchor created, which is richer and valid vs ISO standard. Maybe (?) that the UI template of Geonetwork for showing metadata fields is incomplete regarding the display of anchors, and it would deserve checking with Geonetwork team about the matter. cc @wheintz @fxprunayre in case they can shed light on this.

Thanks, I tested without specifying any link (just parent:parent-identifier) and it seems to work ok in geonetwork. I'll do like this for now until geonetwork can take into account the anchor tag. Cheers !
