Dear List, I am following GeoNode development via the list and have tried out various versions at different stages. I understand the relevance of GeoNode especially in "spontaneous aggregation" of geospatial resources in case of a sudden crisis event. In such a scenario, each GeoNode host would have a particular piece of information to share, likely something that changes over time through incremental changes.
My question is about the mechanism to discover or publish the existence of relevant GeoNodes in that case. How would this work? Is there some active push of the GeoNode metadata required? Supposedly, this would be something like GetCapabilities, with info on data holdings, updating policy, retirement date, etc.). If so, is there some GeoNode repository that would keep lists of current nodes? Speed would be an issue, so passive discovery would probably not work. Any thoughts about this? Guido Lemoine
