| Implementation instructions | It is not possible to specify the type of spatial data service with this element, as the domain values of this element are limited to the SpatialDataServiceType INSPIRE code list values and the number of this metadata element is [1] (ie OGC WMS or WMTS for view service). However, such additional information can be documented using keywords, srv:serviceTypeVersion or gmd:transferOptions/*/gmd:protocol metadata element. |
Encoding example: Documenting the spatial data service type
| <gmd:MD_Metadata... ... <gmd:identificationInfo> <srv:SV_ServiceIdentification> ... <srv:serviceType> <gco:LocalName codeSpace="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata-codelist/SpatialDataServiceType">view</gco:LocalName> </srv:serviceType> ... </srv:SV_ServiceIdentification> </gmd:identificationInfo> ... </gmd:MD_Metadata> |
