Tuesday

• Morning :
  • Bluenet
  • geocat.ch
    • No large map viewer
    • Bounding box in metadata using OL
    • Search is done through CSW
    • CSW is augmented with summary search information to create a filter panel on the right column
    • Search form is created in ExtJs
    • Metadata shown in popup floating Extjs window
    • Keywords with autoselect keyword list
    • Working on using GetDomain in search
    • Harvested nodes and local groups are combined in the catalogue filter field (drop down list in the search form)
    • Complex spatial searches support for custom or predefined polygons
    • CSW test suite is passed except for the Filter "or" operator when filtering on a combination of a spatial and some other search criteria
    • Support for multilingual metadata editing
      • Languages supported are defined per metadata record. So adding a new translation to a metadata record is done within the record, no matter what the new language is
      • Search is done using a search index per language. Search will use all indexes and boost the default language.
      • Relations between parent and child are defined through a small GUI popup that allows you to search and identify the parent or child. Link will be created in both directions.
      • Context sensitive labels used in metadata
      • Suggestions lists for some free text fields. These are defined also in the labels.xml file as a helper element.

• GéoSource : Mathieu & Francois
  • A new Keyword selection panel where you select the thesaurus and then start searching and adding keywords to the metadata

    • UI use ExtJS or not ? OpenLayers, GeoExt, MapFish ?
    • Keyword selector (if ExtJs)
    • organisation/group logo
    • hidden elements
    • Feature catalog support
    • ExtJs editor interface?
    • split out language packages (define the format for such structure)

    • move away from Druid database format files to SQL for installer & default content
  • 3.x :
    • Modularized structure
    • Domain-driven approach
    • Great unit test coverage
    • Use of Maven, Spring, Hibernate, Hibernate Search, Axis2
    • No more Jeeves, and no more (or less) XSLT for the GUI. But how to achieve it?

2.4 / known bugs

• see trac
• (Fixed) i18n / MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode quarterly
• (Fixed) CSW / attempt to access a deleted document GetDomain & CatalogueSearcher
• (Fixed) CSW / GetDomain rest only / getParameters Namespace OGC
• CSW Filter 1.1.1 support?
• Jeeves / SOAP env
• XmlLoader.js : JS alert

Improvements / Performance

• replace lucene.xsl by Java : Heikki
• view metadata = update popularity = index again : Jose made it asynch
• indexing : allow partial update index for a document ? eg. only one field like popularity ?
• CSW : GetRecords / XSL run record by record
• One key objective should be a significant improvement of the search speed
