  • Resource locator: URL
  • Resource locator: Description

XPath distributionInfo/*/transferOptions/*/onLine/*/description
Data type gmx:Anchor
Domain OnLineDescriptionCode<> [INSPIRE] limited to "access point"
Implementation instructions The address (resource locator) of the invocable spatial data service is documented according to the general implementation instructions for the Resource locator element, with additional requirements according to Commission Regulation (EU) no.1312/2014. Therefore, in this particular case, at least one invocable service access point must be documented, and each access point is documented in an individual instance of the gmd:transferOptions/gmd:MD_DigitalTransferOptions/gmd:onLin /gmd:CI_OnlineResource element.

Each of the gmd:CI_OnlineResource instances must contain at least:
 
  • the URL of the access point of the service that contains a detailed description of the spatial data service, including a list of endpoints that allow automatic execution documented in the gmd:linkage/gmd:URL element (Resource locator: URL),
  • value "access point" (accessPoint "XML value) from the OnLineDescriptionCode INSPIRE code list encoded in the gmd:linkage/gmd:description element, expressed using the gmx:Anchor sub-element (Resource locator: Description).

It is recommended to provide additional information about the Resource locator in the title and function elements.
