Purpose: Test that the capabilities section of the View Service contains the Service metadata elements in accordance with Table 3b.
Prerequisites
These tests only applies to Scenario 3. Otherwise, the test case is skipped.
Test method
-
Send a getCapabilities request to the service endpoint. Into the response:
-
Check that exactly one Title element is provided and it is not empty.
-
Check that exactly one Abstract element is provided and it is not empty.
-
Check that, if there is a MetadataURL element for a layer:
-
the OnlineResource element has an 'xlink:href' attribute, its content is not empty and one of the following checks is passed:
-
a valid response is returned sending a HTTP/GET request to the GetRecorById of the Discovery Service, .
-
a direct link is provided to the ISO19139 metadata document.
-
-
otherwise, check manually that "if linkage to data sets on which the service operates are available" the MetadataURL element is mandatory.
-
-
Check that at least one Keyword element with a value from the "Classification of Spatial data Services" codelist is provided.
-
Check manually that the Geographic Bounding Box is provided in the dataset metadata. It is mandatory "if the service has an explicit geographic extent.".
-
Check if a Temporal Reference is provided through the updateSequence attribute and that the date provided is formatted in YYYY-MM-DD format,
- otherwise, manual check that the Temporal Reference is mapped to the Temporal Reference of the dataset metadata, in order of a date of type publication, revision creation.
-
Check if the declaration of conformity against the Commission Regulation (EC) No 976/2009 of 19 October 2009 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the Network Services - URI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2009/976 is provide through a dedicated Conformity Keyword,
- otherwise, check manually that the lack of the keyword means that the degree of conformity of the service is considered as "non-conformant" or "not evaluated".
-
Check that at least one Fees element is provided defining the conditions for access and use. If no conditions apply to the access and use of the resource, "no conditions apply" shall be used. If conditions are unknown "conditions unknown" shall be used.
-
Check that at least one AccessConstraints element is provided.
-
Check that the Responsible Organisation is provided through the ContactOrganization element and that the Responsible Party role is provided through the ContactPosition element with one of the values of code list Responsible party role.
-
Check if the Metadata Date is provided through the updateSequence attribute and that the date provided is formatted in YYYY-MM-DD format,
- otherwise, manual check that the Metadata Date is mapped to the Temporal Reference of the dataset metadata, in order of a date of type publication, revision creation.

Notes
The mapping of the INSPIRE metadata elements of the data set is available in the TG Metadata.
As stated by the INSPIRE Metadata Technical Guidance [INS MDTG], it is not possible to express the restriction of a service concerning the spatial resolution in the current version of [ISO 19119]. While this issue is being addressed by the standardisation community, spatial resolution restrictions for services shall be written in the Abstract as mandated by the Metadata Technical Guidance [INS MDTG]. Spatial Resolution restrictions at service metadata level shall be declaratively described in the wms:Abstract element.
