Title: Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: Service & version request parameters have fixed values

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 service and version request parameters defined in the CSW part (cl. 10) have fixed values (“CSW” and “2.0.2”, respectively) that prohibit profiling.
Summary of change: Do not fix the values of these general request parameters; instead, stipulate default values that may be overridden by a profile.
Consequences if
not approved: It remains impossible to disambiguate profile-specific requests (which may introduce extension elements that are not defined in the CSW part, or cannot be ignored for a given profile).
