Overview

This RFC describes the pycsw implementation of the GM03 Core Swiss Metadata Model.

The metadata model GM03 is a Swiss standard SNV 612050. GM03 is a profile of the international metadata standard ISO 19115. The metadata model GM03 is a Swiss standard SNV 612050.

Proposed Solution

Similar to pycsw’s FGDC, Atom, and DIF support, GM03 Core will be implemented as a core outputschema plugin which:

• ingests GM03 via Harvest, Transaction, the pycsw API (pycsw.core.admin) and pycsw-admin.py
• exports GM03 supports (full document for native GM03 format)
• transforms non-native GM03 metadata into GM03 Core

Implementation

Activating the feature

GM03 will be enabled by default. GetRecords and GetRecordById requests must be specified with outputschema=http://www.interlis.ch/INTERLIS2.3 for proper export.
