Register IANA Media Type for ISO 19115-3 content #469

Open PeterParslow opened 1 year ago

PeterParslow commented 1 year ago

Suggested at OGC API - Records code sprint in September 2022.

An IANA Media Type (often still called MIME Type) supports content negotiation. An ISO-registered type for ISO 19115-3 content would give an easy content negotiation mechanism for requesting ISO 19115-3 records from an OGC API - Records. Without it, clients can only requested XML (using text/xml) but not what data structure to receive.

A number of existing ISO standards have registered types. Our type would probably be something like

application/ISO19115+xml

(Of course, the OGC developers could do with other standards like DCAT registering types as well!)

Someone present mentioned "registered parameters" which I think relates to the "+xml" part for ISO 19115-3.

If / when we also implement #470, that would then get "+json"
