google summer of code 2011 - inspire view service support

​source code repository

tasks

multi language support

for the different possible options regarding implementation see the overview ​here and the corresponding post ​here

• current implementation

(i) use key extensions (e.g. wms_abstract_ger) for language specific metadata values (title, abstract)
(ii) use runtime substitution (e.g. shapes/rivers_%language%.shp) for language dependant reference data

view service metadata

(i) service title and abstract are localized (e.g. wms_abstract_ger), fallback to wms_abstract if parameter language=eng and wms_abstract_eng not specified
(ii) localization also applies to rootlayer (e.g. wms_rootlayer_abstract_ger) and individual layers
(iii) only one service keyword supported at the moment, needs to be specified explicitly using wms_inspire_keyword
(iv) usage of group/classgroup to set name of style to inspire_common:DEFAULT

• scenario 1 - reference to external inspire service metadata

​example map file (also note comments in file)

(i) enabled by wms_inspire_capabilities set to url

GetCapabilities request with parameter LANGUAGE=ger results in

• scenario 2 - embedded inspire service metadata

​example map file (also note comments in file)

(i) enabled by wms_inspire_capabilities set to embed
(ii) <inspire_common:ResourceType> always set to service
(iii) <inspire_common:SpatialDataServiceType> always set to view

GetCapabilities request with parameter LANGUAGE=ger results in
