Presentations & discussions

JRC harvesting presentation (David, Jose)

Next to GeoNetwork can be installed a new CSW harvester and a link checker application that can be configured from GeoNetwork harvesting console. The progress of the task can be followed from the console too.

Agenda

Topics to talk about/things to do

Community

  • Future of GN - What's each-other's vision for (the future of) GN - UI, Backend, Microservices
  • GN Team organization

Project features

  • A11y review PR for map panels
  • DCAT (rdf) catalog output
    • can export DCAT from current CSW
    • could be implemented in OGC API records
  • DataVerse
  • OGC API Records harvester, current state of OGC-API (maps and features)
  • geonetwork-ui (simple mapviewer, new editor POC)
  • Data API
  • Geospatial search
  • Publisher entries
  • Batch indexing/task - asynchronous tasks - sometimes the client is gone and server task is still running - use a polling system? SSE.
  • How to make/use 1 microservice architecture (based on JRC infrastructure?)

Project updates

  • JAVA8 to JAVA11
  • AngularJS (no issue for the enterprise version)
  • Automatic security/vulnerability check
    • PR for updating Spring security version
    • Remove keycloak client - reached end of life
    • Dependabot reviews
  • Saxon XML update? GeoNetwork use an old version of Saxon not easy to update because some features (eg. Java calls) are not opensource in latest Saxon. Hard to update.

Releases & documentation

  • Making release on github only ? Check for GitHub statistics - Sourceforge is still preferred as it provides statistics (and has the history)
  • integrate HNAP user manual
  • Publish artifacts to main OSGeo repo (snapshots)

Work items

Testing and code quality

Integration tests for GeoNetwork (Ian/Jo)

Made some progress, needs some works (2/3 of the way making the existing tests work against 3.12)

We think this will be easier on GeoNetwork 4 where Michel has been doing clean up for accessibility (resulting in clear identifiers).

Code quality / Setting up sonar cloud (Björn)

Only PR proposed in geonetwork org can be analyzed (not those from a fork).

Github Issue and PR (Juan)

Setup a bot on GitHub to close inactive issues/PR automatically after 6 months PSC agreed on the following rule:

  • 6 months for PR
  • After 6 months send a warning and add a label (inactive)
  • Automatically close a month later

Library updates

MapfishPrint V2, removal of IText (Jody, Juan, Jose)

Log4j 1.2 --> Log4j 2.0 update (Jody)

A prior PR tried to change to SLF4J (on review it only tried to change one class to use SLF4J logging).

See pull request for detailed progress, presently trying to ask harvesters to create an appender on the fly.

Dependabot alerts (Juan, Francois)

Was updated: Mysql client, Camel

Camel update cause issue deploying on Tomcat (needs more work)

New developments

Indexing performances (Jose, Francois)

Analyse how to improve indexing performances by:

INSPIRE Atom / Migration to Elasticsearch (Francois, Jose)

See https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/6395

Improve format support and more homogeneous icons & label (Francois, Michel)

See https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/6411, https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/6101
