User self-registration

  • This setting can be configured by administrators in admin -> settings -> Enable self-registration (tick box and save settings)
  • Users create an account by clicking the "sign-in" button on the home page and then clicking "Create an account"
  • They must fill in the Name, Surname, Email and requested profile at the very least and then click "Register"
  • An account is created immediately but as a Registered User only. An email is sent to the catalog administrator who then confirms the registration, sets the correct membership profile and group membership.

See https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/trunk/en/administrator-guide/managing-users-and-groups/index.html for core documentation on users and groups

Configuring CSW GetCapabilities response

  • The easiest method of doing this is to pick a record that has all the elements filled in, then pick that from the list in Admin console -> Settings -> CSW -> Record to use for GetCapabilities (then click "save")
  • The same settings can be configured in Admin console -> Settings -> Catalog Service for the Web (CSW)

Conversion to Gemini 2.3

  • There are three methods:
    • Conversion when importing a record (choose "Convert Gemini 2.2 to 2.3 on import" as the XSL transformation, which is at the very bottom of the list at present)
    • Bulk conversion as an administrator (admin console -> tools -> batch process, choose "Convert from Gemini 2.2 to 2.3" as the process)
    • In-place conversion when editing a record (use the suggestions wizard on a Gemini 2.2 record)
