wcsContents.xsd 2010-02-02 This XML Schema Document encodes the Contents section of a GetCapabilities operation response used by the OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS). WCS is an OGC Standard. Copyright (c) 2006,2010 Open Geospatial Consortium. To obtain additional rights of use, visit http://www.opengeospatial.org/legal/ . Contents section of WCS service metadata (or Capabilities) XML document. For the WCS, these contents are brief metadata about the coverages available from this server, or a reference to another source from which this metadata is available. Unordered list of brief metadata describing top-level coverages available from this WCS server. This list shall be included unless one or more OtherSources are referenced and all this metadata is available from those sources. Unordered list of references to GridBaseCRSs in which GetCoverage operation requests and responses may be expressed. This list of SupportedCRSs shall be the union of all of the supported CRSs in all of the nested CoverageSummaries. Servers should include this list since it reduces the work clients need to do to determine that they can interoperate with the server. There may be a dependency of SupportedCRS on SupportedFormat, as described in Subclause 10.3.5. The full list of GridBaseCRSs supported by a coverage shall be the union of the CoverageSummary’s own SupportedCRSs and those supported by all its ancestor CoverageSummaries. This full list shall be an exact copy of the equivalent parameters in the CoverageDescription, and shall include zero or more SupportedCRS elements. Unordered list of identifiers of formats in which GetCoverage operation response may be encoded. This list of SupportedFormats shall be the union of all of the supported formats in all of the nested CoverageSummaries. Servers should include this list since it reduces the work clients need to do to determine that they can interoperate with the server. There may be a dependency of SupportedCRS on SupportedFormat, as described in clause 10.3.5. The full list of formats supported by a coverage shall be the union of the CoverageSummary’s own SupportedFormats and those supported by all its ancestor CoverageSummaries. Unordered list of references to other sources of coverage metadata. This list shall be included unless one or more CoverageSummaries are included. Brief metadata describing one or more coverages available from this WCS server. Optional unordered list of more metadata elements about this coverage. A list of metadata elements for CoverageSummaries could be specified in a WCS Application Profile. Unordered list of minimum bounding rectangles surrounding coverage data, using WGS 84 CRS with decimal degrees and longitude before latitude. These bounding boxes shall also apply to lower-level CoverageSummaries under this CoverageSummary, unless other bounding boxes are specified. Unordered list of references to CRSs that may be referenced as a GridBaseCRS of a GridCRS in the Output part of a GetCoverage request. These CRSs shall also apply to all lower-level CoverageSummaries under this CoverageSummary, in addition to any other CRSs referenced. When included in a CoverageSummary with an Identifier, this list, including all values inherited from ancestor coverages, shall be an exact copy of the list of SupportedCRS parameters in the corresponding CoverageDescription. Each CoverageSummary shall list or inherit at least one SupportedCRS. Unordered list of identifiers of formats in which GetCoverage operation responses may be encoded. These formats shall also apply to all lower-level CoverageSummaries under this CoverageSummary, in addition to any other formats identified. When included in a CoverageSummary with an Identifier, this list, including all values inherited from ancestor coverages, shall be an exact copy of the list of SupportedFormat parameters in the corresponding CoverageDescription. Each CoverageSummary shall list or inherit at least one SupportedFormat. Each coverage summary shall contain one or more lower-level CoverageSummaries and/or one identifier. Unordered list of lower-level CoverageSummaries under this CoverageSummary. Optional identifier of this coverage. This identifier shall be included only when this coverage can be accessed by the GetCoverage operation, and the CoverageDescription can be accessed by the DescribeCoverage operation. This identifier must be unique for this WCS server. Identifier of this coverage. This identifier must be unique for this WCS server.
