Hi Jody,
thanks for the feedback!
Mapscript currently only support exporting WMC (1.0 and 1.1), so therefore
my question.
Sweet if there is another application around that wants to go to the
trouble I am game to add WCS support. Although seriously the more time
spent on OWS Context the better it will be ;-)
I had a couple of issues even with the OWS Context files:
- the "closed" nature of the file made adding new Services types into
the context file impossible while remaining conformant
- the definition of "an entry" needs to be captured by several services,
this is something that GeoTango does to great effect (rolling over to a
service that is still up in an order of preference)
Do you know if WMC accounts for the "roll over" use case? After a few
demo experiences (some public for the OGC) I am loath to fully recommend
either specification....
It looks like a pretty straightforward XSLT transformation though to
transform WMC into OWS Context.
Is there an online schema for OWS Context that you know of? One of the
differences I noticed is that in the OWS Context document exported by uDIG
no metadataURL is exported.
I am hard pressed to answer, my OGC membership has elapsed :-( If you
submit an issue with an attached sample file I will be more then happy
to update the uDig code ;-)
Jody
