Description
Some catalogs are published by WAF protocal. A Web Accessible Folder (WAF) is an HTTP accessible directory of files, typically metadata files in XML format in which all files are visible to a web browser or client. Crawlers are able to parse the file listings and provide a search interface on these documents. In addition, some WAF contains OGC Service Getcapbilities file such as: http://mrdata.usgs.gov/wms.html, http://mrdata.usgs.gov/wfs.html
To allow users to harvest the metadata from the WAF catalogs, we added the WAF harvest to current GeoNetwork as below:
To enable WAF harvest, a subtype list box is added to the Web Access Folder/ Web Dav server harvest management page. If the harvesting url is under WAF protocol, administrators may choose WAF harvest subtype. Some WAF url as below: http://capita.wustl.edu/DataspaceMetadata_ISO/ http://mrdata.usgs.gov/wms.html http://mrdata.usgs.gov/wfs.html
