First installation

If this is the first installation of the plugin, the following configurations can be made in GeoNetwork. These configurations will be persisted at every update of the system.

  • Import the predefined templates available in the plugin. Navigate to Admin ❯ Metadata & templates ❯ Metadata & templates. Select the profile and click Load templates. These templates are loaded into the database and are used when creating new metadata records using this profile.

  • Verify the templates have loaded correctly by creating a new record using one of the templates.

  • The editor uses an XML-snippet directive to populate the INSPIRE conformance section. To populate this directive, download this package and import it using metadata import.

  • In Admin ❯ Metadata ❯ Schematron (de)activate those schematrons which are not relevant to your use cases. Also consider to activate schematrons conditionally. The profile contains a set of rules which is meant to be set as warn only. Users will be notified of a potential problem, but it will not lead to rejection of the record.

  • The profile requires a number of thesauri to be loaded to populate pick lists in the editor. From INSPIRE registry in Admin ❯ Classification systems ❯ Add thesaurus import the following codelists with the option From registry:

    Add INSPIRE Registry thesauri

    5 thesauri can be downloaded from Nationaalgeoregister.nl, which are not or partially available in the INSPIRE registry. A downloaded thesaurus file can be imported using Import thesaurus from file.
