| 13 | OAIPMH Harvester in !GeoNetwork needs to be enhanced to support the following: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * '''Object harvesting''': In recent times !GeoNetwork has moved from supporting ISO19115/19139 metadata in the form of a 'record' to supporting a tree based hierarchy of ISO19115/19139 metadata 'objects'. The diagram below shows a typical hierarchy: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The mechanisms for handling these relationships are part of the ISO standard. They can be explicit in the form of an xlink that refers directly to the related metadata object: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | {{{ |
| 20 | }}} |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Or implicit by including the UUID of a related metadata object as content in an element. Here is an example of a parent record UUID in the content of the parent identifier element: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | {{{ |
| 25 | }}} |
| 26 | |
| 27 | And another example of a sibling relationship between a dataset metadata record and a project metadata record (uuid: urn:marine.csiro.au:marlin:project:187): |
