Proposal details

Default configuration parameter is equivalent to current GeoNetwork behavior.

Parameters are defined in config-gui.xml :

<!-- Display or not category information : Categories are stored in the database and a metadata
 record could be linked to one or more categories. -->
 <category>
  <!-- 
   To disable that feature
   comment this out. This will hide categories in search criteria, 
   metadata editing and administration interface.
  -->
  <admin/>
  
  <!-- Display category as icon in search results. Categories could be :
    * define from category table or
    * define based on schema : iso19139 could be service or dataset and iso19110 is feature catalogue (internal category)
  
  mode attribute could be:
   * all : all categories
   * db : only from category table
   * internal : only internal category

  <display-in-search mode="db"/>
   -->    
 </category>

Icons could be added to images/category directory.
