Magda CSW Connector

Magda connectors go out to external datasources and copy their metadata into the Registry, so that they can be searched and have other aspects attached to them. A connector is simply a docker-based microservice that is invoked as a job. It scans the target datasource (usually an open-data portal), then completes and shuts down.

Magda CSW Connector is created for crawling data from CSW(Catalog Service for the Web) data source.

Release Registry

Since v2.0.0, we use Github Container Registry as our official Helm Chart & Docker Image release registry.

It's recommended to deploy connectors with as dependencies of a Magda helm deployment.
