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 csw:ElementName declaration in the CSW-discovery.xsd schema assigns
the type xsd:QName. However, this prohibits the use of XPath expressions as
described in cl. 10.8.4.9 and invalidates Example 1.

Summary of change:

Change the type of csw:ElementName to xsd:string:


Consequences if
not approved:

Example 1 in cl. 10.8.4.9 remains invalid and the use of XPath expressions as
specified is prohibited. This error severely restricts the use of CSW-based
catalogue profiles that employ non-trivial information models (e.g. ebRIM, ISO19139).

Clauses affected:

OGC 07-006r1: cl. 10.8.3 (GetRecordsType definition); schema document in
