This XML Schema Document encodes the typical Contents
section of an OWS service metadata (Capabilities) document. This Schema
can be built upon to define the Contents section for a specific OWS. If
the ContentsBaseType in this XML Schema cannot be restricted and extended
to define the Contents section for a specific OWS, all other relevant
parts defined in owsContents.xsd shall be used by the "ContentsType" in
the wxsContents.xsd prepared for the specific OWS.
OWS is an OGC Standard.

Contents of typical Contents section of an OWS service
metadata (Capabilities) document. This type shall be extended and/or
restricted if needed for specific OWS use to include the specific
metadata needed.
Unordered set of summary descriptions for the
datasets available from this OWS server. This set shall be included
unless another source is referenced and all this metadata is
available from that source.
Unordered set of references to other sources of
metadata describing the coverage offerings available from this
server.
Reference to a source of metadata describing coverage
offerings available from this server. This parameter can reference a
catalogue server from which dataset metadata is available. This ability
is expected to be used by servers with thousands or millions of
datasets, for which searching a catalogue is more feasible than fetching
a long Capabilities XML document. When no DatasetDescriptionSummaries
are included, and one or more catalogue servers are referenced, this set
of catalogues shall contain current metadata summaries for all the
datasets currently available from this OWS server, with the metadata for
each such dataset referencing this OWS server.
Typical dataset metadata in typical Contents section of
an OWS service metadata (Capabilities) document. This type shall be
extended and/or restricted if needed for specific OWS use, to include
the specific Dataset description metadata needed.
Unordered list of zero or more minimum bounding
rectangles surrounding coverage data, using the WGS 84 CRS with
decimal degrees and longitude before latitude. If no WGS 84
bounding box is recorded for a coverage, any such bounding boxes
recorded for a higher level in a hierarchy of datasets shall
apply to this coverage. If WGS 84 bounding box(es) are recorded
for a coverage, any such bounding boxes recorded for a higher
level in a hierarchy of datasets shall be ignored. For each
lowest-level coverage in a hierarchy, at least one applicable
WGS84BoundingBox shall be either recorded or inherited, to
simplify searching for datasets that might overlap a specified
region. If multiple WGS 84 bounding boxes are included, this
shall be interpreted as the union of the areas of these bounding
boxes.
Unambiguous identifier or name of this coverage,
unique for this server.
Unordered list of zero or more minimum bounding
rectangles surrounding coverage data, in AvailableCRSs. Zero or
more BoundingBoxes are allowed in addition to one or more
WGS84BoundingBoxes to allow more precise specification of the
Dataset area in AvailableCRSs. These Bounding Boxes shall not
use any CRS not listed as an AvailableCRS. However, an
AvailableCRS can be listed without a corresponding Bounding Box.
If no such bounding box is recorded for a coverage, any such
bounding boxes recorded for a higher level in a hierarchy of
datasets shall apply to this coverage. If such bounding box(es)
are recorded for a coverage, any such bounding boxes recorded
for a higher level in a hierarchy of datasets shall be ignored.
If multiple bounding boxes are included with the same CRS, this
shall be interpreted as the union of the areas of these bounding
boxes.
Optional unordered list of additional metadata
about this dataset. A list of optional metadata elements for
this dataset description could be specified in the
Implementation Specification for this service.
Metadata describing zero or more unordered
subsidiary datasets available from this server.
