Overview

Metadata can be very big, resulting in a display where it's not easy to find what you're looking for and that has not much structure. In NGR this is tackled by displaying sections of the metadata in separate tabs, creating a much more user-friendly display.

Proposal Type

• Type: GUI change
• App: GeoNetwork
• Module: GUI

Links
