Changes to WCS specificationserverclient 5.1.6.1
Implementation specification
Modest changes to the WCS Implementation Specification.
5.1.6.2 Server implementation
Minor changes to the capabilities and describeCoverage XML responses.
5.1.6.3 Client implementation
Moderate changes to the parsing of the new bounding box information in server-returned capabilities and describeCoverage XML files.
5.1.6.4 Implementation status
Change from gml:envelope to ows:Boundingbox implemented in the version 1.0.20 20040820 getCoverage.xsd and describeCoverage.xsd, and also in server and client
implementations as demonstrated on 20040902.

5.2.4
Purpose and reason for change
Improve internal consistency, Improve consistency with Topic 2 and proposed GML 3.1. The optional “crs” element in OutputType in getCoverage.xsd currently uses the type
gml:CodeType. However, it is used as an alternative to the gml:srsName attribute with type xsd:anyURI in a gml:Envelope or gml:RectifiedGrid element. On the other hand, the
“crs” element must have a value from the coverage requestResponseCRSs or responseCRSs, which currently use the type gml:CodeListType.
5.2.5
Specific change
Change type of the “crs” element in OutputType in getCoverage.xsd, from gml:CodeType to xsd:anyURI. Also, change optional “crs” element to optional “srsName” attribute.
