Overview of metadata elements for services

The metadata element ‘Coupled resource’ contains a link to information (metadata) about the data that has been made available in the service. It contains a valid URL. This element is conditional and mandatory if the links to the datasets on which the serviced is operating are available. For data services it is thus mandatory.

For a WMS it is mandatory to include a metadataURL in every layer, according to the Dutch profile for WMS. The metadataURL is included in the metadata for services in the element ‘Coupled resource’. This MetadataURL refers to the XML of the metadata of the data in the layer. If the layer unlocks a dataset, it refers to the metadata XML of that dataset. If a dataset is unlocked in the same service several times, a reference to the metadata XML for each layer of that dataset is included. When a service unlocks several datasets then there are several metadataURLs that refer to the various metadata XMLs.



It is also possible to refer to the metadata record in a catalogue that unlocks the metadata of the data.
