IACS validator - Keywords issues

[marceaulouis]

I face issues with the IACS Conformance Class 2c validator. I constantly face errors regarding the keywords :

• I have to force the english version of "common agricultural policy" keyword from the GEMET Concepts thesaurus fot it to pass, french version is not recognised
• Similarly, the "Land cover" keywords from the INSPIRE data theme is not recognised
• Any occurence of an "IACS" keyword elsewhere in the keywords generates an error
• It seems that there are problems recognising the anchors of the thesaurus titles

The metadata that I try to validate is here (conform with the Conformance Class 2b test) : https://metawal.wallonie.be/geonetwork/inspire/fre/csw?REQUEST=GetRecordById&SERVICE=CSW&version=2.0.2&elementSetName=full&outputSchema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&id=314690bf-016c-4f07-a6d2-de894ba8020b

Dear @marceaulouis,

regarding the error related to the INSPIRE data theme, the Validator is looking for the values LPIS or GSAA, in case the CharacterString encoding is used (as in your case).

        <gmd:keyword>
            <gco:CharacterString>LPIS</gco:CharacterString>
        </gmd:keyword>

If the anchor encoding is used, the check is made on the href link, so, in this case, the element value can be provided in the national language.

        <gmd:keyword>
            <gmx:Anchor xlink:href="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata-codelist/IACSData/lpis">SIPA</gmx:Anchor>
        </gmd:keyword>

Dear @marceaulouis,

it seems you corrected the metadata and now there are no more errors (Test report: https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/validator/test-reports/details.html?id=EID2568e62a-6b4e-43ae-85eb-6e3e26ee79be).
I will close the issue, please reopen it or open a new issue if the error persists.
