identification of capabilities which a service provider makes available to a
service user through a set of interfaces that define a behaviour - See ISO 19119 for further
information
a service type name, E.G. 'discovery', 'view', 'download', 'transformation', or 'invoke'
provide for searching based on the version of serviceType. For example,
we may only be interested in OGC Catalogue V1.1 services. If version is maintained
as a separate attribute, users can easily search for all services of a type
regardless of the version
information about the availability of the service, including, 'fees'
'planned' 'available date and time' 'ordering instructions'
'turnaround'
type of coupling between service and associated data (if
exists)
further description of the data coupling in the case of tightly coupled
services
provides a reference to the dataset on which the service
operates
describes the signature of one and only one method provided by the
service
a unique identifier for this interface
distributed computing platforms on which the operation has been
implemented
free text description of the intent of the operation and the results of
the operation
the name used to invoke this interface within the context of the DCP.
The name is identical for all DCPs.
handle for accessing the service interface
Operation Chain Information
the name, as used by the service for this chain
a narrative explanation of the services in the chain and resulting
output
parameter information
the name, as used by the service for this parameter
indication if the parameter is an input to the service, an output or
both
a narrative explanation of the role of the parameter
indication if the parameter is required
indication if more than one value of the parameter may be
provided
links a given operationName (mandatory attribute of SV_OperationMetadata) with
a data set identified by an 'identifier'
scoped identifier of the resource in the context of the given service
instance NOTE: name of the resources (i.e. dataset) as it is used by a service
instance (e.g. layer name or featureTypeName).
reference to the dataset on which the service operates

the parameter is an input parameter to the service instance
