Description

When inserting an FGDC document, GetRecords responses return with the following behaviour:

To reproduce:

The document is in GN CSW. Now:

Propose to implement finer grained CSW support of FGDC CSDGM with the following capabilities:

  • add FGDC as a typeName (fgdc:metadata), with the ability to query against this typeName
  • add FGDC as an outputSchema (http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/csdgm), with the ability to return any record in this outputSchema
  • support metadata/idinfo/datasetid (if it exists) as a means to preserve the identifier (else autogenerate UUID)

Note: FYI this will require metadata model mapping, either FGDC <-> ISO, or FGDC->DC, then DC->ISO. Doing the latter can ensure that any metadata model maps to/from DC, thus bypassing the requirement to do mappings for each/every/any combination of metadata model mappings.

It's a given that mappings will not be lossless, but a best effort. It would be valuable to establish these mappings across CSW servers for greater interoperability. I'd be willing to contribute here.
