Martin Desruisseaux created SIS-80:
--------------------------------------
Summary: org.apache.sis.metadata.PropertyDescriptor to implement
org.opengis.feature.type.PropertyDescriptor
Key: SIS-80
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-80
Project: Spatial Information Systems
Issue Type: Task
Components: Metadata
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
Priority: Minor
The {{org.apache.sis.metadata}} package contains a package-private
{{PropertyDescriptor}} class, which currently implements
{{org.opengis.parameter.ParameterDescriptor}}. The later is not really
appropriate since metadata are not parameters. The
{{org.opengis.feature.type.PropertyDescriptor}} interface would probably be
more appropriate. However the feature packages are not yet part of GeoAPI
standard (they are still in the pending part), while {{ParameterDescriptor}} is
part of GeoAPI 3.0.0.
While the package-private class is not directly exposed to users, the interface
implemented by this class is accessible by users. So the choice of
{{ParameterDescriptor}} / {{PropertyDescriptor}} is significant. For now we
stick on {{ParameterDescriptor}}, but a future Apache SIS version may need a
transition path to features.
