F
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 element that is introduced as an extension
element in csw:CapabilitiesType is required; this is inconsistent with the other
top-level elements defined in OWS Common (OGC 05-008), all of which are
optional in order to permit selective retrieval using the ‘sections’ parameter.

Summary of change:


Make the ogc:Filter_Capabilities element optional in CSW-discovery.xsd so as to
permit selective retrieval of capabilities content using the ‘sections’ request parameter. However, a complete representation must include the element.

Consequences if
not approved:

The following statement in cl. 10.5.3 remains incorrect: “Depending on the
values in the Sections parameter of the GetCapabilities operation request, any
combination of these sections can be requested and returned.”

Clauses affected:

OGC 07-006r1: cl. 10.5.2 (Table 58); cl. 10.13 (CSW-discovery.xsd)
