Change Network Upload Schema from Dublin Core to ISO 19119

Change Network Upload Schema from Dublin Core to ISO 19119 for OGC Services

It is possible to publish metadata for services by using the "Specify a network path" upload option in the Geoportal Administration > Upload interface. Metadata generated in this way is by default of the Dublin Core metadata schema. Dublin Core is the default because many OGC services do not have extensive metadata (barely more than title). Lack of further metadata elements may cause the document to fail validation when published under a different schema.



Even so, it is possible to easily change the default schema for OGC servcies from Dublin Core to the ISO 19119 metadata standard for services. If your organization desires this customization, do the following:

• Navigate to the \\geoportal\WEB-INF\classes\gpt\metadata\ogc folder and open the ogc-definition.xml file in a text editor.
• Find the first <schema> tag near the top of the file, the one with the key="ogc-csw-wms-wfs-wcs-wps-sos-sps". This defines the parameters for OGC services.
• Change the 'toKnownSchemaXslt' attribute from the default gpt/metadata/ogc/ogc-toDC.xslt value to gpt/metadata/ogc/ogc-toISO19139.xslt.
• Save the file.
• Restart the geoportal web application.
