Editor / gmd:protocol is not a closed list

[fxp]

This ticket aims to change the protocol closed list (stored in loc/xyz/xml/strings.xml see protocolChoice tags) to a suggestion list (#123). In ISO19139, gmd:protocol is a gco:CharacterString, not a codelist.

Changes are:

• Editor:
  • ISO19139:
    • Change template <xsl:template mode="iso19139" match="gmd:protocol to display suggestion list instead of protocolChoice list.
    • Keep checkForFileUpload JS event to provide file upload when needed.
  • ISO19115: Remove protocol list.
• Schema:
  • Add suggestion to iso19139 schema (iso19139/loc/xyz/labels.xml) for gmd:protocol element

    <element name="gmd:protocol" id="398.0">
      <label>Protocol</label>
      <description>Connection protocol to be used</description>
      <helper>
        <option value="OGC:OUS">OGC-ODS OpenLS Utility Service</option>
    ... 
      </helper>
    

  • Helper list is based on based on current list ​https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/master/web/src/main/webapp/loc/eng/xml/strings.xml#L712

If the codes are not moved to a code list, it sounds like it will not be possible to support some of the other profiles based on ISO 19139.

For example in the North American Profile it is suggested that

The protocol should be taken from an official controlled list such as the Official Internet Protocol Standards published on the Web at ​http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html or the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) at ​http://www.iana.org/numbers.html.

Since Geonetwork seems to have has some custom protocols (i.e. WWW:DOWNLOAD-*http--download for supporting uploaded content) maybe there can be a merged list?

A profile can always overrides ISO19139 default helper for an element. So for NAP, the protocol suggestion could be modified by defining its own list for gmd:protocol.

Change all protocolChoice value to helper value (each language) Protocol field have been changed in editor.
