Reason for

change:

*

05-078r4 in section 8.3 reads: "For each named layer, the

description should indicate the WFS/WCS (by a URL prefix) and the feature/coverage types."

Though the DescribeLayer request permits to specify a list of layers and though the DescribeLayerResponse provides for a

"LayerDesciption" element, which can occur more than once in the response, there is no element available in the

"LayerDescription" which could carry the layer name.

Summary of

change:

*

Add a mndatory element "LayerName" to "LayerDescriptionType".

Consequences if

not approved:

It will not be possible to represent the response data as requested in 05-078r4 section 8.3.
