    owsContents.xsd
    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.
