Provides support for the OGC Catalog Specification.
This package provides the base interfaces needed to support the concept of a catalog of catalog entries. Catalog access is granted by both an iterator, and a query method. The query language is not specified by this api, although the specification expects it to perform similarly to the Simple Feature.
NOTE:
The specification Catalog Services 1.1.1 does not specify the methods of theCatalogEntry
interface. The methods in this interface were inferred from reading the abstract catalog specification: Catalog Services section 3.1.2.
We could not decide on a unified approach for the representation of
Metadata. The choices were between ISO 19115, ISO 19119 and the Dublin core.
Our feedback for implementing ISO 19115 is described in the
org.opengis.metadata
package.
Our insight came when examining the Catalog Services 1.1.1
document - in the abstract catalog specification: CatalogServices section 3.1.2.
By making real classes out of these definitions we have been able to programatically
declare the api used by catalog services QueryDefinition
to access metadata without being tied to a specific Metadata standard.
Specifically the following definitions:
From these definitions we have formalized the following:
MetadataEntity
MetadataEntity.EntityType
MetadataEntity.Element
This abstraction allows our implementation of ISO 19115
(org.opengis.metadata
) to exist independently of
Catalog
,
CatalogEntry
,
QueryDefinition
and
QueryResult
.
This package is based on the following specifications:
Q: Is practice of creating objects for MetadataEntity, Element and EntityType not in the spirit of the specification, if so can they recommend an alternative? One alternative would be to port the CORBA IDL from v2. Problem is InsertMetadata/UpdateMetadata using "any payload".
Q: Does the Catalog v2 section 10: HTTP protocol binding replace the Web Registry Service draft document? Or should we expect any progress on that front?
org.opengis.metadata
- ISO 19115 (TC211) Metadata specificationorg.opengis.filter
- defines a query language similar in scope to QueryDefinition
