Installation

GeoNetwork version to use with this plugin

Use GeoNetwork 4.2.x, not tested with prior versions!

The schema plugin editor makes use of a number of controls for editing structured text fields requiring newer releases of core-geonetwork.

Deploy the profile in an existing installation

The plugin can be deployed manually in an existing GeoNetwork installation:

1. Download from releases page.

   Each release includes a jar, zip, and doc download.

2. Extract contents of the schema-iso19139.ca.HNAP zip download into WEB-INF/data/config/schema_plugins/iso19139.ca.HNAP.

3. Copy the schema-iso19139.ca.HNAP jar to geonetwork WEB-INF/lib

4. Copy the schema-iso19139.ca.HNAP doc to geonetwork doc

5. Restart geonetwork

There is some custom initialization code run when GeoNetwork starts up:

1. The plugin includes will check the GeoNetwork Data Directory ThesauriDir to see if the HNAP Thesauruses are already installed.

2. If they are not (i.e. this is the very first run of GeoNetwork with the HNAP Schema), the required thesaurus files are are copied from the jar into to the correct location in the Data Directory.

See SchemaInitializer.java for details.

Building

Adding the plugin to the source code

The best approach is to add the plugin as a submodule:

1. Use add-schema.sh for automatic deployment:

   ./add-schema.sh iso19139.ca.HNAP https://github.com/metadata101/iso19139.ca.HNAP 4.2.x
   

2. Build the application:

   mvn clean install -Penv-prod -DskipTests
   

3. Once the application is built, the war file contains the schema plugin:

   cd web
   mvn jetty:run -Penv-dev
   

Deploy locally built profile into existing installation

1. Copy the iso19139.ca.HNAP folder from schemas/iso19139.ca.HNAP/src/main/plugin into geonetwork WEB-INF/data/config/schema_plugins/.

2. Copy schema-iso19139.ca.HNAP jar from target into geonetwork WEB-INF/lib.

3. Restart geonetwork

Documentation

Documentation is sphinx-build with sphinx-rtd-theme. GeoCat has provided a writing guide on the use of rst directives and formatting.

Generated docs:

mvn clean compile -Pdocs

Docs generated into target/html/index.html:

open target/html/index.html

Package docs into zip:

mvn package -Pdocs

User Guide Internationalization

Before you start:

pip install sphinx-intl

Translation workflow:

1. Generate pot files, and generate messages for translation:

   mvn compile -Ptranslate
   

   This performs:

   sphinx-build -b gettext src/sphinx target/gettext
   sphinx-intl -c src/sphinx/conf.py update -p target/gettext -l fr
   

2. Each rst file has a matching messages po file in src/local/fr/LC_MESSAGES.

   Message files follow the gettext portable object po format:

   #: ../../src/sphinx/index.rst:3 338fd9f388f64839963b54e20898e403
   msgid "User Manual"
   msgstr "Manuel d'Utilisateur"
   

   Messages are described using:

   • # a comment documenting the line number, and a uuid used to help as content is updated over time
   • msgid origional
   • msgstr translation, please take care not to break sphinx directives

   Plenty of tools are available to work with ``po` files.

   • http://transifex.com

3. Optional: translates images, figures and screen snaps:

   • img/sample.png origional, `img/sample_fr.png`` translation.
   • figure/example.svg origional, figure/example_fr.svg translation.
