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:
To align with industry practice for search engines
Summary of change: Adopt a KVP “GET” pattern that allows OpenSearch clients to query OGC
catalogues and to return a result set as XML using GeoRSS/Atom as a baseline
capability for all Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) implementations.
Consequences if
not approved:
OGC catalogues are not searchable by browser plug-ins or “toolbar search” that
support the OpenSearch interface; would restrict access to OGC catalogue
services implementations to OGC clients and audiences
Clauses affected:
Version 3.0 divides the version 2.0.2 document into parts for the general and
protocol binding sections. Pertinent Part is currently named
“Catalogue_2.1_HTTP_binding_draft,” pertinent section 6.8. May additionally be
addressed in narrative and example detail in an informative annex.
