Title: Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: Filter_Capabilities element is mandatory
Source: R. Martell <rmartell {AT} galdosinc {DOT} com>
Work item code: Date: 2008-07-21
Category: F
Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.
Reason for change: The <ogc:Filter_Capabilities> element that is introduced as an extension element in csw:CapabilitiesType is required; this is inconsistent with the other top-level elements defined in OWS Common (OGC 05-008), all of which are optional in order to permit selective retrieval using the ‘sections’ parameter.
Summary of change: Make the ogc:Filter_Capabilities element optional in CSW-discovery.xsd so as to permit selective retrieval of capabilities content using the ‘sections’ request para-meter. However, a complete representation must include the element.
Consequences if
not approved: The following statement in cl. 10.5.3 remains incorrect: “Depending on the values in the Sections parameter of the GetCapabilities operation request, any combination of these sections can be requested and returned.”
