[GeoNetwork-devel] OGC services (WMS, WFS) harvesting - what about missing required elements?

[Wolfgang G. <wgr...@az...>]

I am validating the ISO 19139 metadata generated by GN 2.4.2 harvesting 
of OGC services (WMS, WFS, etc.).
It would be nice if GN would generate required elements such as 
<gmd:MD_Metadata><gmd:contact> (metadata contact person/organization) 
even if it is not specified in the service's getCapability.

I also came across some empty, non-mandatory elements that my schema 
validator (XMLspy) chokes on. It would be nice if they were removed:
            <srv:containsOperations>
                <srv:SV_OperationMetadata>
                    <srv:operationName>
                        <gco:CharacterString/>
                    </srv:operationName>
                </srv:SV_OperationMetadata>
            </srv:containsOperations>
