10.6.2 Mappings to common queryable and returnable properties
These standard data metadata parameters are partially based on the core queryable and returnable properties described in Subclause 6.3 of the Catalog 2.0 Implementation
Specification [OGC 04-021r2]. The core queryable andor returnable property that corresponds to each metadata parameter is listed in Table 36.

10.6.3 Basic set of description parameters
A basic set of data description parameters that includes human-readable title, abstract, and keywords is expected to be widely used in specific OWS interfaces, as described in
Figure 13.
