Notes

Recap of Winter Meeting (if needed)

DCP-4: Use of xlink attributes in Atom <link> tags

  • Current Version: DCP-4: OPeNDAP Links in the Atom <link/> element
  • Potentially use "role" and "arcrole" from xlink to capture all the semantics of DCP-3.
  • Should we change DCP-4 to the current OPeNDAP suggestion, or should there be a separate DCP for the more general case of DCP-4?
  • Brian suggests a separate DCP for the general case (e.g., using "arcrole"), this will be coming in DCP-5
    • Basically, covering the case where service casts refer to collections, or collection casts referring to services
  • Returning a collection cast is a different use case from returning OPeNDAP response
  • Pedro suggests you don't need to use something like arcrole, IANA has registered mime types and rels that should cover everything
  • Summary -> DCP-4 will use xlink role, DCP-5 will use xlink role and arcrole

DCP-5: Use of OpenSearch <Query> tags for valid parameter values

  • Likely renamed to DCP-8
  • Li is interested in this, will be in contact with Ruth Duerr and Discovery mailing list for further information

DCP-6: Adopt Dublin Core Date Specification in Atom Response

  • Current version: DCP-6: Adopt Dublin Core Date Specification in Atom Response
  • More aligned with OGC use of OpenSearch
  • dc:date refers to "point or period of time for an event associated with a resource"
  • should we use the convention that the parameter and XML element should match?
  • dc:date is more standard than the OpenSearch parameters
  • time:start and time:end were only standardized as "queryable"
  • which does ESRI prefer or suggest based on client development?
    • ESRI would align more with the dc approach (since there is already a dc:date XML element)
    • Not a big deal either way, but prefer things that may become standardized
  • another option (considered by OGC) is using gml, but this is more complex

DCP-7: define error handling best practices
