== Overview ==

A register as defined in ISO19135 is a list of items that have been assigned an identifier. ISO19135 has models of a register and describes the roles and procedures necessary for registering an item. An registered item may be any piece of geographic information. For the purposes of this proposal the items in the register will be the codelists or vocabularies associated with a metadata record. This proposal describes:

 * the addition of the XML schema implementation of ISO19135 to GeoNetwork as a plugin schema
 * how codelists, vocabularies and thesaurii will be implemented as ISO19135 records (registers) in GeoNetwork
 * how metadata records in a metadata schema will be linked to these registers

=== Proposal Type ===
 * '''Type''': GUI Change, Core Change
 * '''App''': !GeoNetwork
 * '''Module''': Harvester, Kernel
