Re: [GeoNetwork-users] Geonetwork to wms

[Francois P. <fx....@gm...>]

Hello List, following Ryan's question we made an how-to on displaying
the spatial index using GeoServer.
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/HowToViewSpatialIndexUsingGeoServerWMS

Some comments on this how-to:
 * "Warning: Using this, all metadata record's bounding box will be
visible to all. Spatial index contains all metadata record (including
templates) and the WMS will not take care of filtering bounding box
according to privileges. "
 * "Another option at least for KML output (not WMS) is to create a
searcher which output KML (Done in geocat.ch sandbox on top of a CSW
searcher)."
 * "In order to retrieve more information from the shapefile using
Talend ETL could be an option to create a more complete shapefile with
metadata title, change date, ...
See http://www.talendforge.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sdi:geonetworkmetadataextractfields
"

HTH.

> Hi Francois
> I've pointed the wms at the shapefile, configured a featuretype (used polygon style), however the shapefile only appears to have the lat/long and the basic metadata ID (not the urn). In addition, the shapefile doesn't appear to be kept up to date and is inconsistent. (I am using GN 2.4)
> What script updates the shapefile, perhaps the updating isn't occurring regularly enough? Could you please advise?

>> Hi all
>> I was wondering if anyone could point to some instructions on configuring the Geoserver (packaged with GN) to serve the GeoNetwork database via wms? Essentially I would like a wms/portrayal of the records available in the geonetwork database - please advise?
