Overview

This proposal allows editor to add extent information based on keyword analysis. In the editor a button is added to run the process :

1. For each keywords
2. Search for the keyword in thesaurus
3. If keyword in the thesaurus has an extent
4. Add an extent with a description and a bounding box to the metadata record.

The process could be run in 2 modes :

• Add : Keep existing extent elements and add the new one at the end. Editor could clean the section after processing.
• Replace : Remove all extent having only a bounding box (temporal, vertical and bounding polygon are not removed), and add the new one at the end.

Select your keywords
