Metadata Editor
The Metadata Editor application offers a user-friendly interface to create, edit, and publish metadata records.
Features
- A dashboard showing the records available on the platform as well as searching and sorting
- A metadata edition interface allowing the modification of various parts of a record (title, abstract, keywords, dates...)
- Create, duplicate and delete records
- Import remote records using a URL
- Keep a draft while editing a record, with the ability to rollback to the published version and discard changes
Run & deploy
IMPORTANT
GeoNetwork version 4.2.5 or above is required for the Metadata Editor app to function normally.
The Metadata Editor application is available as a docker image or as a ZIP archive.
Using docker
The docker image is geonetwork/geonetwork-ui-metadata-editor.
See the run guide for more information.
Using the ZIP archive
A metadata-editor-VERSION.zip archive is available on every GeoNetwork-UI release: https://github.com/geonetwork/geonetwork-ui/releases
See the run guide for more information.
Deployment
Please refer to the general deploy guide to learn how to deploy GeoNetwork-UI applications.
Supported metadata schemas
The editor currently support the following schemas:
- ISO 19139
- ISO 19115-3
- DCAT-AP (support for writing values in a record is limited for now)
Any record written in one of those schemas can be opened and modified in the edition interface.
When a record is created it uses the preferred schema, currently ISO 19115-3.
How it works
The Metadata Editor relies on the GeoNetwork CRUD (create/read/update/delete) API for manipulating records. The records XML is read and modified fully in the browser to allow for a reactive experience as well as offering more possibilities for supported schemas.
