Title:
*
CapabilitiesBaseType vs. OWSServiceMetadata
Source:
*
WCS.SWG
Work item code:
Category:
*
F (Critical correction)Reason for
change:
*
Clause 7.4.2 "Service metadata document contents" introduces the element "OWSServiceMetadata" which is never defined in the schemas. Instead "CapabilitiesBaseType" is defined (cf. clause 7.4.10 "Capabilities document XML encoding") looking very much like "OWSServiceMetadata" but omitting the
reference to "OWSContents".
The proposed resolution which has already been adopted by WCS 2.0 is to define an own "CapabilitiesType" extending the OWS
"CapabilitiesBaseType" with a "Contents" element
which itself is an extension of the OWS "ContentsBaseType".
Summary of
change:
*
Remove "OWSServiceMetadata" and instead explain usage of "CapabilitiesBaseType".
Consequences if
not approved:
Different standards adopting OWS Common 2.0 may resolve the issue differently which circumvents its primary purpose.
Clauses affected:
*
Clauses 7.4.2 and 7.4.10 as well as the schemas.
