Hi, Fast reading of WMS 1.1.1 standard shows
7.1.4.5.3 Abstract and KeywordList The optional <Abstract> and <KeywordList> elements are recommended. Abstract is a narrative description of the map layer. KeywordList contains zero or more Keywords to aid in catalog searches. The Abstract and KeywordList elements are not inherited by child Layers. and 7.1.4.5.10 MetadataURL A Map Server should use one or more <MetadataURL> elements to offer detailed, standardized metadata about the data underneath a particular layer. The type attribute indicates the standard to which the metadata complies. Two types are defined at present: the value 'TC211' refers to [ISO 19115]; the value 'FGDC' refers to [FGDC-STD-001- 1988]. The MetadataURL element shall not be used to reference metadata in a nonstandardized metadata format; see DataURL (Section 7.1.4.5.14) instead. The enclosed <Format> element indicates the file format MIME type of the metadata record. I have never written any metadata voluntarily but this looks like something that could interest you. -Jukka Rahkonen- > -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- > Lähettäjä: Chenglin.Gan [mailto:[email protected]] > Lähetetty: 17. toukokuuta 2011 16:25 > Vastaanottaja: Rahkonen Jukka > Kopio: [email protected] > Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] How to publish metadata of a layer? > > Thanks Jukka.
