Developments in harvesting discovery metadata

av steingod |

The discovery metadata harvest process is currently in rapid development. The harvest works fine,  but there are major modifications under development in the quality assurance procedures for the harvested information. In the current situation this may cause some of the havest streams to go unfiltered (or less quality controlled than planned) into the the NorDataNet site. This can imply that some datasets are not fully ingested due to insufficient discovery metadata. Insufficiencies can be on the originator side or at the handling side in NorDatanet. Please remember that is a service still under development. We are working hard to correct these issues.

The data centres that are currently being harvested include in addition to the project partner repositories operated by IMR, NERSC, NILU, NPI and MET also repositories like NSIDC and PANGAEA. Further information on repositories that are harvested will be added.
