Changelog

All notable changes to the Geometadata plugin will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

  • ISO 19139 XML embedding in article and preprint HTML head, controlled by a new embed_iso19139 plugin setting (default on). Emits a <script type="application/xml" id="geometadata-iso19139"> block containing a gmd:EX_Extent fragment with EX_GeographicDescription (place name), EX_GeographicBoundingBox, and one gml:TimePeriod per stored temporal period. Open-ended periods use gml:indeterminatePosition="unknown". Closes #4.
  • WKT meta tag in article and preprint HTML head, controlled by a new embed_wkt plugin setting (default on). Emits <meta name="DC.SpatialCoverage" scheme="WKT" content="..."> alongside the existing GeoJSON variant. The DC schema link is now emitted whenever any DC-style tag (DC or WKT) is enabled. Closes #27.

Changed

  • ...

0.1.0 - 2025-05-02

Initial development release.

Added

  • Spatial metadata: WKT geometry storage with automatic bounding box calculation

  • Temporal metadata: Flexible JSON-based time periods supporting multiple date ranges and free-text values (e.g., "Holocene", "Summer 2021")

  • Article and Preprint support: Separate models for journal articles and repository preprints with identical field structure

  • Issue-level GeoJSON API endpoint (/api/issue/<id>/) for focused harvesting of geometadata per journal issue with rich article properties

  • Basemap provider selection now uses leaflet-providers library with 12 preset providers (various OpenStreetMap styles, OpenTopoMap, CyclOSM, Geoportail France, TopPlusOpen) instead of manual tile URL configuration

  • Article/preprint landing pages: Interactive Leaflet map in footer via article_footer_block hook

  • Issue pages: Aggregated map showing all articles in an issue via issue_footer_block hook

  • Journal/repository map page: Full-page map at /plugins/geometadata/map/

  • Press-wide map page: Cross-journal map at /plugins/geometadata/press-map/

  • Fullscreen control: Maps support fullscreen mode via leaflet.fullscreen

  • Colour-coded markers: Deterministic colour assignment by issue (journal maps) or journal (press maps) using ColorBrewer palettes

  • Geometadata edit forms: Dedicated pages for editing article/preprint geometadata with interactive Leaflet.draw tools (polygon, rectangle, polyline, marker)

  • WKT input: Direct WKT geometry entry with format validation

  • Temporal periods UI: JavaScript-powered add/remove rows for multiple time periods

  • Reverse geocoding: "Lookup Location Names" button to auto-populate place name and administrative units from drawn geometry (Nominatim, Photon, or GeoNames)

  • Curation queue: Paginated list view for back-catalogue work with progress tracking and hide-completed toggle

  • Django admin: Full admin interface for both ArticleGeometadata and PreprintGeometadata models

  • Metadata Embedding

    • Dublin Core: DC.SpatialCoverage, DC.box, DC.temporal, DC.PeriodOfTime
    • ISO 19139: EX_GeographicBoundingBox meta tag
    • geo. meta tags*: geo.placename
    • Schema.org JSON-LD: spatialCoverage (GeoShape), temporalCoverage
    • GeoJSON link element: Optional <link rel="alternate" type="application/geo+json">

  • Settings: 27 configurable options for display, embedding, basemap, colour coding, and reverse geocoding providers

  • Full i18n support with Django translation system for English and German, including translations for map UI elements
