Installing Catalog Services for Web (CSW) - ISO Metadata Profile¶

To install the CSW ISO extension:

1. Login, and navigate to About & Status > About GeoServer and check Build Information to determine the exact version of GeoServer you are running.

2. Visit the website download page, change the Archive tab, and locate your release.

   If you do not have the CSW extension yet, get it first. From the list of OGC Services extensions download CSW.

   • 2.28.0 example: geoserver-2.28.0-csw-plugin.zip

   • 3.0-SNAPSHOT example: geoserver-3.0-SNAPSHOT-csw-plugin.zip

   From the list of OGC Services extensions download CSW ISO Metadata Profile.

   • 2.28.0 example: geoserver-2.28.0-csw-iso-plugin.zip

   • 3.0-SNAPSHOT example: geoserver-3.0-SNAPSHOT-csw-iso-plugin.zip

   Verify that the version number in the filename corresponds to the version of GeoServer you are running (for example 2.28.0 above).

3. Extract these zip files and place all the JARs in WEB-INF/lib.

4. Perform any configuration required by your servlet container, and then restart.

5. Verify that the CSW module was installed correctly by going to the Welcome page of the Web administration interface and seeing that CSW is listed in the Service Capabilities list.

   Open the CSW capabilities and search for the text gmd:MD_Metadata to verify that the ISO metadata profile was installed correctly.
