CSW Capabilities interoperability

[heikki]

The CSW specs are not entirely precise about what exactly can be a Capabilities document.

In particular, we've found that

<ows:Parameter name="carlabrunisarkozy">

is just a permitted, perfectly valid structure as per the XSD. The problem we found was that some CSW server implementations (ExCAT) put this in Capabilities

<ows:Parameter name="OutputSchema">

where GeoNetwork's CSW harvesting client is only dealing with the situation

<ows:Parameter name="outputSchema">.

It seems best to at least treat all hard strings we expect from a Capab document in a case-insensitive manner.
