ComposedMetadataRecords

 For !GeoNetwork to become part of an institution's metadata and data management fabric, it must be able to compose metadata from content held in databases external to !GeoNetwork. This proposal would add two new components to the kernel and harvester modules of !GeoNetwork:
- * WFS fragment harvester - a harvester that can import metadata fragments (also known as subtemplates) from an external database with a WFS interface
- * XLink resolver and cache - metadata records can then be composed from a skeleton with links to fragments of metadata 
+ * WFS fragment harvester - a harvester that can import metadata fragments (also known as subtemplates) from an external database with a WFS interface and (optionally) construct composed metadata records (one per feature) with fragments linked in
+ * XLink resolver and cache - a facility that will resolve links to metadata fragments (both local and remote if necessary) with the ability to cache fragments for efficient retrieval
