A custom view for GeoNetwork 4.2.x: 'Dutch Government Skin'

This project contains a skin for the GeoNetwork Opensource project at https://github.com/geonetwork. A skin generally consists of a number of overrides for templates (html), styles (less) and scripts (js). The skin can be added to a GeoNetwork core sources as a git submodule or as a zipfile to a pre-build WAR.

Version 4.2 is rebuilt from the ground up. It's closely matched with the version 4.2.x of GeoNetwork OpenSource (main branch).

This version replaces version 4.0.

Features:

• Design slightly follows dutch rijkshuisstijl
• PDOK background layers as map backgrounds
• PDOK locationserver as gazetteer

This work has been started by PDOK and is further maintained by the GeoNetwork Usergroup Netherlands. If you find any issues, use the Github issue tracker here https://github.com/osgeonl/geonetwork-dutch-skin/issues.

A preconfigured skin is available as Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/geocat/geonetwork-nl/
