Meet CSW & me.

Hi,

In our setup ( www.data.ug ) we run geonode for our geospatial data, and CKAN
for everything + our geospatial data. With a CMS of choice on top of that,
this makes a pretty nice Open Data architecture.

We are already harvesting 2 geonodes (one is not our own) and solving the
issues that come with that.

One issue is that the CWI that geonode produces results in pretty useless
resources in CKAN. eg. http://catalog.data.ug/dataset/wildlife-sanctuaries
Note that none of the previews work.

CWI seems to be a flexible standard that can produce descriptions of datasets
differently, so  we are having a discussion on the geonode mailinglist as to
how to change the CWI that geonode produces.

It would be great if Adria and others who are interested could join the
discussion, so the outcome of the changes to geonode would be an easier and
slicker integration between these 2 great tools.

The issue is here:
