Re: [GeoNetwork-users] Assigning different logos for groups in a single GN node

Hi there, I don't know if it is a good idea to assign a logo to the organisation. First, this has already been mentioned, there is a possibility that there are 2 or more responsible parties. How to deal exactly with that? Secondly, the "pointOfContact" is not mandatory, so no logo will be displayed. In this case it would rather be the "contact" for metadata that is a mandatory field. In general this fits also more or less with the notion of "group". The URL to the organisation or at least an alt-Text would be a very nice feature!
