[ckan-dev] CSW harvester - getting started?

Tue Feb 2 12:51:34 UTC 2016

Hi Derek,

which CSW harvester are you using? Afaik, there are multiple extensions
around.
As the URL, you should use the most basic form (i.e.
http://data.linz.govt.nz/feeds/csw), as the library will add all parameters
as needed.
