Describe itemType in collection more #2

Open cholmes opened 3 years ago

cholmes commented 3 years ago

The description for itemType field in a collection reads: 'Indicator about the type of the data items in the collection. The items can be accessed by following the items link, if provided. The default value is "feature".'

It'd be good to describe when you'd use 'feature', and when you might use another value, and what those potential other values are. I've dug in quite a bit in OGC stuff and have never quite found a satisfying definition of what goes there. Tiles seems to use it differently from records, etc.

Like I think in tiles I found options of feature, coverage and map. And then I think records has dataset maybe?

I will see, if I can come up with an understandable description...
