metadata about styles "link" "rel" #17

Closed joanma747 closed 3 years ago

The specification says "Each style SHALL have a link to the style metadata (link relation type: describedby) with the type attribute stating the media type of the metadata encoding." Tis is not consistent with the Features API to retrieve the schema of the dataset From a Features API example: "An additional link is to a GML application schema for the dataset - using link relation type "describedBy".". Recently in OGC-API common we agreed on "data-meta" for "metadata".

Can we use "data-meta" here too?.

I do not see a good reason for using an OGC-specific link relation type where the IANA-registered describedby fits.

I also do not see any inconsistency with OGC API Features.

In addition, considering a style to be data seems like a stretch to me.
