a The contents of the CI_ResponsibleParty class are modified to omit the optional organizationName attribute
in CI_ContactInfo, since the ProviderName contains this information. The mandatory “role” attribute in the CI_ResponsibleParty class is made optional, since no clear use of this information is known in the
ServiceProvider section. Since all contents of the Service Contact are now optional, the ServiceContact is now
made optional.

have contents based on the corresponding classes in ISO 19115: Metadata and OGC Abstract Specification Topic 11. More detailed information on the contents and uses of
all listed parts is provided in the owsServiceProvider.xsd XML Schema Document referenced in Subclause 7.4.6.
