Harvesting Metadata Documents
The metadata harvesting function (resource harvesting) adds the ability to conduct the
recording of metadata documents in an automatic process when importing metadata (in
compliance with the CSW 2.0 ISO 19115/19119 profile schema).
At regular intervals, predefined data sources are checked and uploaded (generally by way
of metadata documents that are accessible by http) and validated. If successful, the data
is then published in the catalogue (with the visibility status „public‟). When using
automatic harvesting, transformations can be performed with stylesheets. The function
can be invoked in the menu under Publish > Harvest.
The following functions in terraCatalog are available:
 Add job: A new job is added to the current Job Configuration.
 Delete selected jobs: Highlighted jobs are removed.
 Start selected jobs: All those jobs selected, will be validated and if they are compliant
they will be imported.
 Delete selected registered jobs: „Overview harvest jobs‟ lists all registered jobs. For
each job, the configuration parameters and status are stated. Select one or more jobs,
enter your e-mail address, and click „Delete selected registered jobs‟ to remove these
harvest jobs.
