Norman,

There are certainly a number of people interested in an open-source CSW / ebRIM implementation, since there are open-source +/- reference implementations of most other OGC service specifications. Of course, ebxmlrr is based not only on the ebRIM information (meta)model, but also on the ebRS registry service, which has substantial differences from CS/W and includes a repository interface which doesn't really exist in the CS/W profile.

That opens several questions as to the best / simplest approach for implementing a CS/W with this software. Do have a particular strategy in mind at this point? Perhaps something like an IRC chat could be arranged to discuss this in the next week or so.

Cheers,

Josh Lieberman

Hi,

as I am not aware of any open source ebrim catalog profiles of CSW I
thought I would have a go with ebxmlrr (omar).  I am part of the OSGEO
geodata group, and as part of this I wrote the spatial hibernate
components for PostGIS, and the spatial dialect that allows spatial
(adhoc :-) ) queries.

I have put full details on how to set up Postgresql and Omar (ebxmlrr)
the open source OASIS ebxml reference registry are available here

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Deploy/container/JBoss

and we have started an OGC page here

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Community/ogc

I am not advocating either the ebrim or the RESTful approach, but I
know it is useful to have an implementation that we can all evaluate -
and hence make meaningful comments on.

Any experiences, advice then please send them my way.

I have sent this to geow*nking since this is where the real thinkers are!

thanks,

Norman
