Geonetwork provides at least three method of editing metadata: a) a simple interface; b) the full interface; and c) an XML editor. Most metadata can be entered in the simple interface; however, a number of fields require the full editing interface or XML editor (or import) including:
Attribute | Location in XML | Interface |
|---|---|---|
Abstract | IdentificationInfo/Abstract | Simple |
Title | IdentificationInfo/Citation/Title | Simple |
Start Date | IdentificationInfo/Extent/TemporalExtent/TimePeriod/BeginPosition | Simple |
End Date | IdentificationInfo/Extent/TemporalExtent/TimePeriod/EndPosition | Simple |
Vessel | Acquisition Information/Platform/Identifier | Full/XML |
Instrument | Acquisition Information/Platform/Instrument/Identifier | Full/XML |
Vessel and instrument should also link to a valid vocabulary entry in a vocabulary server. E.g.
