Cannot harvest ISO 19115 metadata hosted in pycsw

[gpcimino]

Hi all,

just install CKAN 2.8.2 and the last version from master branch of ckanext-harvest and ckanext-spatial.

My goal is to have CKAN harvest XML metadata ISO 19115 hosted by pycsw.

I used the command harvester run_test to test the first harvest (see the output below).
The harvester was not able to get any metadata file. As matter of fact it generates a lot of "Empty record for GUID xxx" message.
My guess is that the metadata exposed vi pycsw start with

<gmi:MI_Metadata>

while looks like the CKAN CSW harvester looks for

<gmd:MD_Metadata>

Is that correct?
Any suggestions?

Thanks

In short MI_Metadata isn't handled properly in the current master as of this writing. I'll get back around to seeing if I can track down why the automated tests are failing.

There are many versions of ISO 19115; CKAN does not support all of them. Here is the version that I believe the harvester is written for:
