Subject: pycsw Receives OGC Compliance Certification and Reference Implementation Status

Body:

14 January 2013

The pycsw development team is happy to announce that pycsw 1.4.0 is now certified OGC Compliant for OGC CSW 2.0.2 [1], and passes all 103 CITE tests.

As well, pycsw is now an official OGC Reference Implementation. A demonstration instance of the reference implementation is available at http://demo.pycsw.org.

Standards are at the core of pycsw; acheiving OGC compliance and reference implementation status is part of the project's ongoing commitment to an open source, standards-based metadata and catalogue component of spatial data infrastructures.

pycsw is an OGC Compliant CSW server implementation written in Python. Please visit http://pycsw.org for more information.
