 ====== METAMOD 2.x ======
-During 2001/2002, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (METNO) implemented a web based tool (MetaMod) for searching data archived under the NoSerC project (http://noserc.met.no/). This tool was adapted for the DAMOCLES project in 2006/2007. The web interface and the overall functionality of the tool were very much improved during the DAMOCLES development, and just a small part of the original code base has remained unchanged. Other projects at METNO have also contributed to the development process. The software is now named METAMOD 2.x, to distinguish it from the original MetaMod tool that is still occasionally maintained.

-METAMOD 2.x is a portal solution providing Discovery, Access and Retrieve functionality for scientific datasets along with tools for metadata handling etc. Further development of the software is now coordinated with other developement efforts at METNO (e.g Fimex), within the METSIS project. In the figure below, METAMOD 2.x represents the web portal and metadata database within the wider framework of METSIS:
+METAMOD 2.x is a portal solution providing Discovery, Access and Retrieve functionality for scientific datasets along with tools for metadata handling etc. It allows for automatic and manual DAR Metadata creation. The Metadata can be converted to different formats and exposed using different search-interfaces, i.e. ISO23950 and OAI-PMH. METAMOD 2.x has been designed to be easily integrable with [[http://opendap.org/|OpENDAP]] or ftp data-servers, i.e. [[http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/|THREDDS]] and allows data-upload through FTP and HTTP interfaces.
-{{:metamod:metsis-outline.png?600|Outline of how METAMOD is being used.}}
-The purpose of the METAMOD 2.x software is threefold:
+====== News ======
-  * To manage a local data repository with scientific data files.
-  * To manage a database with metadata for scientific data sets. Data sets are collections of data files, either in the local repository, or in external repositories.
-  * To provide a web portal for searching and browsing the metadata database.
-As additional projects were seen to benefit from using METAMOD 2.x software, a need for making the software independent of a single project emerged. This was obtained by organizing the software in different modules, and by separating all project specific aspects into a configuration file. METAMOD 2.x now comprise the following modules:
+Also see [[https://svn.met.no/viewvc/metamod/trunk/CHANGES?view=co|Version history]] and [[https://svn.met.no/viewvc/metamod/trunk/debian/changelog?view=co|Debian changelog]].
-^METAMODBASE|Metadata database and corresponding administrative tools.|
+===== METAMOD 2.14 =====
-^METAMODSEARCH|Web based search and browsing facility.|
+**2015-11-13**
-^METAMODUPLOAD|Web based upload facility for data files.|
+  * ported to Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) and PostgreSQL 9.3
-^METAMODQUEST|Web based questionnaire for registering metadata.|
+  * automatic detection of PSQL version during installation
-^METAMODPMH|PMH server offering selected metadata for harvesting by OAI-PMH clients.|
+  * search API webservice
-^METAMODHARVEST|OAI-PMH harvester client that import metadata from external sources.|
-The configuration file describes an actual implementation of a web application based on METAMOD 2.x software. First of all, the file lists which of the six modules that are used in the application. Any combination of the four modules is allowed. If the METAMODBASE module is not a part of an application, the configuration file must identify a database owned by another application where the METAMODBASE module is used. In this way, several applications may share the same database.
+===== METAMOD 2.13 =====
+**2013-07-26**
-The software is implemented on a Linux system with Apache web server. PHP is used to implement dynamic web content, and Perl is used to implement tasks not directly involving web content generation. The database is based on PostgreSQL. Metadata elements use controlled vocabularies from GCMD and CF1.0 as well as WMO keywords. Tools for extracting metadata from NetCDF/CF files are part of METAMODUPLOAD. Access to the actual data files are provided as links from the web pages generated by the METAMODSEARCH module.
+  * dynamic search map using WMS
+  * improved support for background maps in different projections
+  * support for boolean operators, phrases and wildcards in text search
+  * automatic building and installation of Perl dependencies using Carton
+  * support for Ubuntu 12.4 Precise Pangolin and PostgreSQL 9.1
+  * fix for old GetLegendGraphics bug to work with new version of THREDDS
+  * upgraded to latest Catalyst version (5.9)
+  * easier configuration (lsconf, virtualenv, sanity checker)
+  * support for manual configuration and serving static files in Apache (again)
+  * WMS search map thumbnails
+  * support for custom validators in OAI-PMH
+  * support for two-dimensional arrays in timeseries plots and ascii/json download
+  * WMS slideshow, frame stepping controls
+  * template texts fully customizable per site
+  * download external files, generates client file download scripts in various languages
+  * support for nGinX and CheckMK
+===== METAMOD 2.12 =====
+**2013-01-16**
-The local data repository is an ordinary file system where files are orginized in catalogs according to institutions (data providers) and data sets. The catalogs and files must be accessible through URLs. This can be done using HTTP, FTP, OPeNDAP or a combination of these protocols. The DAMOCLES application use a THREDDS Data Server (giving OPeNDAP and HTTP access). If the data files satisfy OGC standards, THREDDS may also provide OGC WCS access.
