Talk:WMS GetCapabilities

Giovanni time periodicity missing -- Erinmr 17:58, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

Xiaopeng, In the GetCapabilities for each layer in the time:

<Dimension name="time" units="ISO8601" />
<Extent name="time" default="2008-09-30T00:00:00Z" nearestValue="0">2002-07-01T00:00:00Z/2008-09-30T00:00:00Z</Extent>

We have include an increment 2002-07-01T00:00:00Z/2008-09-30T00:00:00Z/PT1H Can you add the increment? or How do you know what increment the dataset is?

We will re-engineer the Giovanni WMS. I’ll put that into the requirements.

Giovanni FGDC Service Checker Results -- Erinmr 17:59, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

Hi Xiaopeng,

The WMS checker from FGDC is back up and running. I ran the GetCapabilities from you through it and it does return some errors. See below:

Re: Giovanni FGDC Service Checker Results -- Xiaopeng

Erin, In your “GetMap” request, there are two parameters missing in the URL. First, in the URL, there must be an “EXCEPTION=XML” specified. Second, the parameter “STYLES=” has an empty value, which should have either of the followings:

• latlonplot
• latlonplot_corr
• latlonplot_diff
• comparisonplot
• scatterplot
• scatterplot_tavg
• timestats
• timeseries
• timeseries_diff
• hovemollerlatt
• hovemollerlont
• vprofile
• crossmap_tp
• crossmap_lonp
• crossmap_latp
• wmslatlonplot
• animator

Hence, it should be something like “STYLES=latlonplot” etc.
