Re: [GeoNetwork-users] XML validation error when adding a dataset tothe metadata record

[andrew w. <aw...@me...>]

Hi Tim,

I have come across  the same issue i.e validation complaining about a 
gmx:MimeFileType
underneath a parent gmd:name when its expecting a gco:CharacterString.

Could be to do with the way you are running the validation, are you running
validation inside:
- GN's editor or
- are running validation through some other software such as ANZMETlite
- or an XML editor such as XML Spy?

I find this issue when I used the validator in XML Spy and I set the 
schemaLocation as
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd 
http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd/gmd.xsd"
then I see an error like yours:

Element <gmx:MimeFileType> is not allowed under element <gmd:name>.
 Reason: The following elements are expected at this location (see below)
  <gco:CharacterString>
  <gmd:DS_InitiativeTypeCode>
  <gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode>
...
....
   Error location: gmd:MD_Metadata / gmd:distributionInfo / gmd:MD_Distribution 
/ gmd:transferOptions / gmd:MD_DigitalTransferOptions / gmd:onLine / 
gmd:CI_OnlineResource / gmd:name / gmx:MimeFileType
 Details
  cvc-model-group: Element <gmx:MimeFileType> unexpected by type 
'gco:CharacterString_PropertyType' of element <gmd:name>.
  cvc-elt.5.2.1: The element <gmd:name> is not valid with respect to the actual 
type definition 'gco:CharacterString_PropertyType'.

If however you reference the schema location to the local ISO19139 schema.xsd on 
your system (not web) like this:

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd 
file:///C:/ANZMEST_SVN9279/web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data/config/schema_plugins/iso19139/schema.xsd">

the validation will be fine.

So your XML is most likely OK it's just saying its invalid because
of the way the schema xsd is referenced. Just to check I did the same as you
uploading a local file for download using the recent GN V2.8.0RC1 test version.
The XML validates OK using the validator in GN editor i.e the 'Check' button.

HTH

Andrew
