[seek-dev] RE: registry in Ecogrid

[Jing Tao]

Hi, Bing:

You may try the dev machine in nceas. This our semi-production ecogrid 
service.

Here is the steps you need to do:
1) Create a knb account in knb.ecoinformatics.org(Please chose SDSC as 
   organization name)
2) Enable cookie function in your browser
3) In http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu:8080/ogsa/style/skins/dev/login.html,
  fill out the user name and password. user name should look like:
  uid=username,o=SDSC,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org
4)After success login, change the url to 
   http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu:8080/ogsa/style/skins/dev/loadxml.html
   If you first to insert a document, please chose action "insert", if you 
   want update a document, please chose action "update".
   Give this a document a id, for the first time insertion, the id should 
   looks like: "zhu.001.1" First part "zhu" is the scope, "001" is the 
   identifier for document, "1" is version number. If you want update this 
   document, the next docid would be look like "zhu.001.2"
   If you want insert another document, the id could be "zhu.002.1"...
   The textarea is the palace to for put your xml document.
   Then click "Process Action" button.

That's it!

We have a good tools to create eml document and load to metacat. For 
arbitrary xml, we have to use the development tool.

If you have any question, please let us know.

Thanks!
