Title:


 Change the “service” parameter value for the GetCapabilities operation

Source:

 B
Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)

D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can
be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.

Reason for change:

 The value of the “service” parameter is not clearly defined. By default, the value is
“CSW” inherited from the OGC 07-006r1. But the GetCapabilities is overridden
with some specific CSW-ebRIM information so the “service” parameter value must
be equal to “CSW-ebRIM”.

Summary of change:  On a CSW ebRIM service, the “service” parameter value for the GetCapabilities
operation must have the value “CSW-ebRIM”
Consequences if
not approved:

 The specification remains unclear on the “service” parameter value. This lack of
clarity reduces the interoperability of the specification.
