RemoteSearchForm+TabbedSearchForms
v4 v5 10 10 == Overview == 11 11 12 !GeoNetwork has long had Z3950 support but the remote search form was dropped with the introduction of 2.2 - probably because the Z3950 implementation was old and because 'Remote Search' didn't seem to fit in the new observer layout being used for minimaps etc. This proposal will add the remote search form back into the GeoNetwork interface (under the heading 'Distributed Search' as both the local node and remote nodes can be searched in the remote search form). To properly support the addition of this search form, it is also proposed to place the 'default' (or simple search) and the advanced search forms on tabs. The tabs can be styled as the user requires but the default styling would look as follows:12 !GeoNetwork has long had Z3950 support but the remote search form was dropped with the introduction of 2.2 - probably because the Z3950 implementation was old and because 'Remote Search' didn't seem to fit in the new observer layout being used for minimaps etc. This proposal will add the remote search form back into the !GeoNetwork interface (under the heading 'Distributed Search' as both the local node and remote nodes can be searched in the remote search form).

It allows users to search remote nodes in conjunction with the local !GeoNetwork node. 34 34 35 The Z3950 api in GeoNetwork has been recently upgraded to JZKit-3. This api is the current version of JZKit and although it is much more complex than JZKit-1, it should be better supported.35 The Z3950 api in !GeoNetwork has been recently upgraded to JZKit-3.
