GeoNetwork is a web-based open-source tool for managing spatially referenced data using a catalog. It can be used to manage and share geographic information resources efficiently.
The latest version of the software has some exciting changes that make it even better than before. The sample metadata can now be found in the package selection panel, which is a significant feature for those who use metadata most often. The commandline installation with the installer script generated can now work again, with debug information available using -DTRACE=true. The presentation for the embedded metadata has been updated, making it easier to display metadata blocks using 'fieldset,' which is an improvement from the dotted lines.
GeoNetwork also has several upgrades, including the upgraded Jeeves and related commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar, French and English Label updates, and an updated map services list. Users can now start the software headless, preventing pop-up Java windows. The JavaDoc is also much better than before, making it easier to use.
Furthermore, GeoNetwork has also fixed some bugs in the latest version, such as the fix for the internet explorer upload problem and the way metadata owners are calculated during migration with GAST. With all these features and improvements, GeoNetwork is a great option for metadata management.
To use GeoNetwork, the system requirements are Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later. Users can find everything they need to know about the software on this website. With its powerful metadata editing and search functions and an embedded map viewer, GeoNetwork is an excellent software that makes managing resources referenced to locations more straightforward than ever before.
