GeoAPI provides a set of interfaces in programming languages (currently Java and Python) for geospatial applications. The GeoAPI interfaces closely follow OGC specifications, adaptated to match the expectations of programmers.
The FeatureCatalogueDescription currently has two direct subtypes: CoverageDescription (itself specialized with ImageDescription) and FeatureCatalogueDescription. But there is another type not yet provided by GeoAPI: FeatureCatalogue. This class is documented as "a catalogue of feature types" and contains only one property: featureCatalogue of type FC_FeatureCatalogue (from ISO 19110), documented as "the catalogue of feature types, attribution, operations, and relationships used by the resource" (cardinality 1:N). This class has not been made available in GeoAPI because its only property is a dependency to ISO 19110, which is not yet available in GeoAPI.
If this interface is added in GeoAPI, then @code FeatureCatalogue in FeatureCatalogueDescription should be changed to @link FeatureCatalogue.
