Updated: Open-source OGC CSW client?

By Bill Thorp

I’ll keep this one short and sweet.  There are some interesting open-source CSW (Catalogue Service for the Web) server options.  Can anyone point me to open-source OGC CSW clients?

 UPDATE:

http://geonetwork-opensource.org/ Version 2.1 (in Beta) will come with both server and client support for CSW.  You can head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/geonetwork and grab it today.  The only caveat is that its GPL’ed … which doesn’t make distributing ESRI+CSW binary plugins feasible.

 Deegree also has a client, in the org\deegree_impl\clients\wcasclient branch.  The advantage of it is that its LGPL.  The disadvantage is that (I have no idea how to run it and) it has a class named “AddToShoppingCartListener.”  Forgive me for not knowing how that pertains to a Catalogue Service.

    On a side note, CSW can also stand for “Commercial Sex Workers”, giving rather amusing results for “CSW clients” Google searches.
