Hi all, Is anyone aware of any OGC service which can return comments for a layer attribute/field? The WFS DescribeFeatureType [1] seems the most likely candidate but has no "description" or equivalent property at the attribute level. Attributes are returned as follows:
<xs:element name="field1" type="xs:double" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/> The docs for the WFS layer object https://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html#layer-object allow the following to be set for each attribute: gml_[item name]_alias gml_[item name]_precision gml_[item name]_type gml_[item name]_value gml_[item name]_width It would be nice if there was an option to set something like the following, and have it returned as part of the layer metadata: gml_[item name]_description This way the automated parts of the attribute (type, precision etc.) could be included along with a description of what the field contains. Does anyone have a way of handling this with MapServer?
