| 56 | || 34 || ||Remote search||Presentation of returned hits from remote sites may be very slow because search is limited by the speed of the slowest site. Action: Presentations of first returned hits from first responding remote site should not have to wait on the slowest site – may require more delving into JZKit. || || |
| 57 | || 35 || ||Configuration||There are too many configuration files in too many places eg. repositories.xml.tem and not all configuration options are supported by the existing admin interfaces. Action: Continue to consolidate configuration options in the system configuration interface. || || |
| 58 | || 36 || ||Web map client|| There is no documentation for the implementation of alternative web map clients to Intermap and this makes it appear that the process is far harder than it actually is. Given the enthusiasm for an OpenLayers-based interface, what "interface" there currently is will probably soon be rapidly-evolving - if not replaced completely. Action: Document the interface that GeoNetwork uses to call a web map client so that sites can substitute their own.|| || |
| 59 | || 37 || ||Distributed search||Current capability of !GeoNetwork to use distributed searching is given a low priority and not being developed when compared with the local search. Action: More consideration is required towards distributed searches and proper attention should be given to it.|| || |
| 60 | || 38 || ||Distributed CSW search|| Distributed CSW searches are not available. Action: All OGC CSW standards and specifications should be implemented. || || |
| 61 | || 39 || || XML validation|| Potential for remotely accessed information to be malicious. Action: !GeoNetwork should validate all XML inputs and responses (eg. as it does for CSW) and check expected MIME types e.g. you ask for a GIF, you get a GIF. And indicate / reject non-conforming content with a warning?|| || |
| 62 | || 40 || ||Perfs enhancement (XSL)|| !GeoNetwork does too much expensive processing of XML documents with XSLT. Action: Continue to seek out and remove unnecessary XSLT processing.|| || |
