Ticket #3251 (closed enhancement: fixed)

Opened 2 years ago

Last modified 2 years ago

WMS capabilities options: AuthorityURL, Identifier

Reported by: pramsey Owned by: pramsey
Priority: normal Milestone: 6.0 release
Component: WMS Server Version: svn-trunk (development)
Severity: normal Keywords: wms, capabilities
Cc: tomkralidis, jmckenna

Description

The WMS 1.1.0 specification and higher allow an "AuthorityURL" and associated "Identifier" to be defined for <Layers>. For example: 

<AuthorityURL name="gcmd">
  <OnlineResource xlink:href="some_url" ... />
</AuthorityURL> 
<Identifier authority="gcmd">id_value</Identifier>

The AuthorityURL is inherited by child <Layers> and the Identifier is not. The following ows_ keywords could be used in the MapServer implementation of these keywords: 

wms_authorityurl_name
wms_authorityurl_href
wms_identifier_authority
wms_identifier_value

The keywords would only be operative for WMS 1.1.0+.

Paul: this seems like a good enhancement to me. Let me know if you need help testing. We should also updated msautotest/wxs appropriately.

Turns out the output is invalid XML. r9774 fixes this (tested with XMLSpy 2010).
