Comment

When the resource referenced by a MetadataURL element (in the Extended Capabilities or in the layer element) is accessed, the response that comes back is usually wrapped inside a GetRecordById. However, according to the OGC WMS 1.3.0 specifications, it can be just the metadata file. If this is allowed, it should be explained.

Agreed. In the WMS technical guidelines the requirement is "The URL shall be either an HTTP/GET call on the GetRecordById operation of the Discovery Service or a direct link to the ISO 19139 metadata document."

Proposed resolution:

Update network service test cases to allow either a response to a GetRecordById request or a gmd:MD_Metadata document.

Proposed resolution accepted by default. See call on April 28.
