Interface Operation

public interface Operation

Represents the definition of an Operation in the capabilities document of an OGC-web service according to the OWS Common Implementation Specification 0.2 (and owsOperationsMetadata.xsd).

It consists of a mandatory name attribute and the following elements:

Name	Occurences	Function
ows:DCP	1-*	Unordered list of Distributed Computing Platforms (DCPs) supported for this operation. At present, only the HTTP DCP is defined, so this element will appear only once.
Parameter	0-*	Optional unordered list of parameter domains that each apply to this operation which this server implements. If one of these Parameter elements has the same "name" attribute as a Parameter element in the OperationsMetadata element, this Parameter element shall override the other one for this operation. The list of required and optional parameter domain limitations for this operation shall be specified in the Implementation Specification for this service.
ows:Metadata	0-*	Optional unordered list of additional metadata about this operation and its' implementation. A list of required and optional metadata elements for this operation should be specified in the Implementation Specification for this service. (Informative: This metadata might specify the operation request parameters or provide the XML Schemas for the operation request.)
