2. Why do we need it?
• We need a software that can catalogue our Geospatial data in
geoscience domain.
• We need to expose our catalogue metadata in a format widely
accepted such as ISO standards.
• We need to implement spatial search on the metadata.
3. Why Geonetwork ?
• We do not want to reinvent the wheel.
• We want to adopt an open source software that has a good
community and userbase.
• We want to get the latest updates in software and metadata
standards with minimum effort.
• At present the project is widely used as the basis of Spatial Data
Infrastructures all around the world.
4. ISO 19115-3:2018 and geonetwork
• ISO 19115-3:2018 schema plugin
• This is the ISO19115-3:2018 schema plugin available in GeoNetwork
3.8.x by default.

6. How do we do it ?
• The packaged war file can be deployed using Tomcat.
• Configure metadata standards.
• Add records to the catalogue.
• OGC APIs such as WMS and WFS can be harvested for semi automatic
cataloguing.
