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:
Simplify interoperability by helping consumers better identify OGC services.
Summary of change: Change the element to a simple type to contain anyURI instead
of being a codeType, thus using a service type URN to help OGC service
Consequences if
not approved:
Currently, there is no standard service type identification mechanism. It makes it
difficult for clients to identify OGC services. Throughout the current OGC
specifications examples containing this element use various values to identify
the same service type. For example, the WCS 1.1 draft has two examples with
ServiceType equal to OGC:WCS or WCS which makes it difficult for clients to
determine the service type.
Clauses affected:
iv, 3, 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 7.4.4, 7.4.10 - the guts of the changes are in 7.4.4

X Other core specifications
Affected:
Supporting Doc.
Other comments:
All specifications derived from OWS
Common 1.1.0 or later. Currently, there are
none but OWS Common 1.0.0 has the
same issue and thus this could apply to
many OGC specifications.
Abstract specifications
Recommendation Papers
04-013r4 – A URN namespace for the Open Geospatial Consortium
06-023r1 - Definition identifier URNs in OGC namespace
This change request applies to a draft version of the OWS Common 1.1
specification.
The ZIP package representing this change request contains all the modified
The OGC Technical Committee Policies & Procedures 05-020r3
versions of the relevant files.
The document named Edited OWS Common incorporating change request to
Define URN to identify ServiceType.doc contains all of the edits to OWS
Common 1.1.
The modified XSD files are: owsGetCapabilities.xsd,
owsServiceIdentification.xsd, owsGetResourceByID.xsd. These contain the new
type named AbbreviatedServiceTypeIdentifier (actually a replacement for the
simpleType ServiceType, not to be confused with Element named ServiceType);
and the modified element ServiceType which is now an anyURI.
One example file has also been changed.
