ebXML Object Model

This page describes GeoNetwork's implementation of the ebXML Object Model.

The ebXML Object Model is specified in "ebXML Registry Information Model Version 3.0" wich can be found ​here. It defines the types of metadata and content that can be stored in an ebXML Registry.

This document is the basis for an XML Schema for this model, which you can find inside ​this zip file.

GeoNetwork has implemented this information model in Java. The implementation is capable of marshalling, unmarshalling and validating XML documents that conform to the XSD mentioned above. The implementation will be loosely coupled to the Data Layer for storage and retrieval.
