Dxwg: better link for ISO19115-1 codelist, section 13

[smrgeoinfo]

The text in section 13 paragraph one:

there are many other potential roles, see for example the CI_RoleCode values from [ISO-19115-1].

the reference points to the ISO standards document, which is not freely available; a more useful link to see the codelist would be https://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/resources/Codelists/gml/CI_RoleCode.xml, which shows up in a browser as a readable html page.
the CI_RoleCode list is also referenced in paragraph 1, section 13.1

likewise for DS_AssociationTypeCode referenced in the following sentences, a more useful link is https://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/resources/Codelists/gml/DS_AssociationTypeCode.xml
DS_AssociationTypeCode is also referenced in section 13.2

And they are all available as linked data (one URI per value, conneg enabled) here: http://registry.it.csiro.au/def/isotc211

I stood this up as a temporary measure 3 years ago, pending ISO getting their act together ...

[smrgeoinfo]

As far as I know they're not available as linked data except from the csiro.au service, but I do think its better to provide a link in the DCAT text that actually lets you look at a list of the terms from a TC211 hosted site (instead of pointing to the pay-walled spec, in which the vocabs are buried and not easy to find). If the csiro.au/isotc211 services are intended to be persistent, I think it would be useful to point people at those as well, even if they're not 'authoritative TC211 resources'.

Maybe we can still keep the bib ref, but add a link to the publicly available code list - e.g.:

there are many other potential roles, see for example the CI_RoleCode values from [ISO-19115-1].

[sjskhalsa]

perhaps https://github.com/ISO-TC211/schemas/tree/master/19115/resources/Codelist/gml ?

[smrgeoinfo]

@sjskhalsa the links to https://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/resources/Codelists/gml/CI_RoleCode.xml are the 'release' versions of what's at https://github.com/ISO-TC211/schemas/tree/master/19115/resources/Codelist/gml

[dr-shorthair]

@smrgeoinfo Could the stylesheet CodelistDictionary-v32.xsl be modified to show the gml:id values so that the URIs of the individual entries are visible?

[dr-shorthair]

My stylesheet suggestion is for ISO to deal with. It does potentially provide visibility for normative URIs for the ISO codes, but still in XML and not 'real' linked data :-) But we should not delay merging #1001 because it could be a looong wait, from my previous experience.

(A few more tweaks to the PR as well.)

[smrgeoinfo]

I'll put an issue in the ISO XML github on the gml:id

Leave as future work, pending any further discussion/update on https://github.com/ISO-TC211/XML/issues/205

[andrea-perego]

@dr-shorthair , @smrgeoinfo , I wonder whether you have any updates on this issue.

[dr-shorthair]

Not me, but @nicholascar may, as he is now helping ISO/TC 211 with linked data services

Noting we are not the only ones unhappy with this situation - see https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/479
