Title:

*

Allow use of http URIs to identify CRS

Source:

TC Policy

Work item code:

Category:

_*

B (Addition of feature)

Reason for

change:

*

The WFS 2.0 spec requires that coordinate reference systems referred to in WFS interactions be identified by OGC URNs. Current OGC policy is to _allow_ URNs, but to _recommend_ http URIs (URLs).

Summary of

change:

*

Modify the relevant clauses to allow http URIs with the pattern http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/[epsg|ogc]/0/{code}

for identification of CRSs.

The XML schemas do not need changing, as the relevant references are to xs:anyURI

Consequences if

not approved:

Bad CITE tests which penalize implementations that conform to current OGC Policy concerning identifiers.

Clauses affected:

*

7.9.2.4.4

Also 7.9.3.6 and 8.3.5.2 for other parameters.
