Title:
*
Fix Table 2 BBOX definition
Source:
*
CSIRO
Work item code:
Category:
*
D (Editorial modification)
Reason for
change:
*
Bounding boxes are defined in a normative reference (06-121r3:2009, 10.2.3) to be of arbitrary dimensionality. The semantics of selection are defined in 7.8.3.2 to be that resources are not-disjoint with the bounding box. Table 2 refers to a non-existent document (presumably intending 06-121r3:2009), arbitrarily and inconsistently restricts a BBOX to a "rectangle", and uses inconsistent intersection
language.
Summary of
change:
*
"A bounding rectangle, encoded as specified in OGC 06-131r3, indicating that all resources which intersect that BBOX shall be retrieved from some data store."
with
"A bounding box, encoded as specified in OGC 06-121r3:2009
10.2.3, indicating that all resources not disjoint with that BBOX shall be retrieved from some data store."
Consequences if
not approved:
Risk that some implementers might restrict BBOX to two dimensions or be confused about the selection semantics.
Clauses affected:
*
Table 2, selection clause section, row defining BBOX, third column.
