[ckan-dev] CKAN CSW Harvest - GeoServer Error

Sun Feb 7 15:49:12 UTC 2016

We are trying to setup our GeoServer for harvesting by CKAN.

The plug-in has been installed and all seems good.

If I use Python and owslib.csw, then I am able to communicate and get results e.g.

>>> from owslib.csw import CatalogueServiceWeb
URL = 'http://localhost:8080/geoserver/csw'
>>> csw = CatalogueServiceWeb(URL)
>>> csw.getrecords2(maxrecords=20)
>>> csw.results
{'matches': 25, 'nextrecord': 21, 'returned': 20}
>>> for rec in csw.records:
...     print csw.records[rec].title
... 
Tasmania water bodies
Tasmania cities
Tasmania state boundaries
Tasmania roads
USA Population
World rectangle

However, trying a harvest from CKAN results in "dc:" errors:

Can anyone help with this (running GeoServer 2.8 and CKAN 2.5)

Thanks
Derek
