Even the udig guys are a bit stuck on this one; we want to record a list of warnings associated with a FeatureSource. Since we are all on trunk Eclisia why not collaborate on this one? What kind of information would you like to see?
Here is the information we have coded for thus far: - title - keywords - description - schema (the type information in this case) - name - icon - bounds - crs For specific targets (like shapefiles) we may record a bit more description...
