Re: [GeoNetwork-users] [GeoNetwork-devel] Thesaurus name + keywordssearch

Michael,

The keyword triplets that you pick from the GCMD science keyword list
get inserted into the Descriptive Keywords elements. They then become
available for search via the Advanced search page if you click in the 'Keywords'
box. So yes, they can be used for searching.

Note that this facility (can choose keyword triplets) is only
available for you entered metdata in the ISO19139 marine community profile (MCP) format.
If you entered data in say ISO19139-ANZLIC format then there isn't a keyword picker
and you just type in keywords.

To  see what I mean:

1) Go to our Geonetwork site http://www.metoc.gov.au/geonetwork/
2) Select the advanced search tab
3) Click in the 'Keywords' box and start typing 'Ocean ....'
4) A list of indexed keywords (some will be triplets if from MCP records) appears in a drop down list.
5) Select one of keywords from the drop down
6) Hit the search button.

HTH,

Andrew
