NOTE Other XML elements names may be substitutable for the XML elements listed in Table 53. The schema
rec-dcterms.xsd contains a complete list of substitutable XML elements.
10.2.5.3.2 Full record
The XML encoding of the element representing the full catalogue record, csw:Record, is defined by the following XML-Schema fragment:
xsd:element name=Record
type=csw:RecordType substitutionGroup=csw:AbstractRecord
xsd:complexType name=RecordType
xsd:complexContent xsd:extension
base=csw:DCMIRecordType xsd:sequence
xsd:element name=AnyText type=csw:EmptyType minOccurs=0
xsd:element ref=ows:BoundingBox
minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=unbounded xsd:sequence
xsd:extension xsd:complexContent
xsd:complexType
The full record is based on the XML schemas developed for the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative with the addition of the csw:AnyText and ows:BoundingBox elements.
All elements contained in the csw:Record element shall be available as queryables. In the event that a catalogue implementation does not have a value to map to an element

119
contained in csw:Record, its value shall be considered to be NULL for the purpose of querying.
In the Dublin Core schema, the elements dc:identifier and dc:title, or any element that can substitute for them, are optional. However for the purposes of this specification, these
elements shall be considered mandatory queryables and presentables.
The csw:AnyText element shall only be available as a queryable, and is intended as a query target for a full text query of the catalogues records. This element is not a
presentable and shall never appear in a response message. Even thought the content model for the csw:AnyText element is empty, the catalogue shall interpret its value to be
the full text of all text fields in the catalogue record.
The ows:BoundingBox element is used to express the spatial extent of the record.
It is anticipated that the number of optional presentables will vary from one record instance to another inside the catalogue; and so the remaining elements, or any element
that can substitute for them, may appear as presentables if the catalogue has a corresponding value to present. Otherwise, elements for which no value is available may
be omitted from the response.

NOTE The XML examples and schema fragments in Clause 10 often include the new Catalogue 2.0.2 XML
namespace identifier URI, namely http:www.opengis.netcatcsw2.0.2. The Catalogue 2.0.2 XML Schema

Documents use this new namespace identifier URI instead of the previous namespace identifier URI, namely http:www.opengis.netcatcsw. This change was made based on the TC decision described in Clause 11 in OGC Best
Practices Paper 06-135r1. That decision was based on the discussion in document 05-065r3 “Change Request for Namespaces for versions and profiles of XML Schemas”. A new namespace identifier URI is used for this Catalogue
version 2.0.2 because these reasons apply to this version 2.0.2. However, using this new namespace identifier URI could produce problems for the GetCapabilities operation request and response, which have not yet been resolved.
