*Make clear the distinction between a Process Description, a WPS Application
Profile, a profile of the WPS Specification
*Edward Nash, Rostock University
Work item code:
Category:
* D (Editorial modification)
Reason for *
change:
Currently the distinction between a WPS Process Description, a WPS
Application Profile and a profile of the WPS spec. is not made
sufficiently clear: section 6.4 "WPS Profiles" starts by talking about
"standardized profiles" and then moves into "Application Profiles".
1 of 2
Summary of *
change:
The following distinctions need to be made clear:
1. A WPS Profile is a specialisation of the WPS interface, e.g.
making optional operations or parameters mandatory (or removing them
altogether).
2. A WPS Application Profile is (in the WPS1.0 form) a standardised
ProcessDescription which may be found through a registry using its
assigned URN.
3. A ProcessDescription is (again, in the WPS1.0 form) a description
of a process and its inputs/outputs. It may also indicate that it
implements a particular WPS Application Profile.
It may be a good idea to choose a different term to "Application
Profile", e.g. GML has "Application Schema", in order to make
misunderstandings less likely.
Consequences if Confusion as to what a "WPS Profile" and a "WPS Application Profile"
not approved:
Clauses affected: *
Mainly 6.4 "WPS Profiles", probably also others.
