Content

Sequence [1..1]
1. ows:DCP [1..*] Unordered list of Distributed Computing Platforms (DCPs) supported for this operation. At present, only the HTTP DCP is defined, so this element will appear only once.
2. ows:Parameter [0..*] Optional unordered list of parameter domains that each apply to this operation which this server implements. If one of these Parameter elements has the same "name" attribute as a Parameter element in the OperationsMetadata element, this Parameter element shall override the other one for this operation. The list of required and optional parameter domain limitations for this operation shall be specified in the Implementation Specification for this service.
3. ows:Constraint [0..*] Optional unordered list of valid domain constraints on non-parameter quantities that each apply to this operation. If one of these Constraint elements has the same "name" attribute as a Constraint element in the OperationsMetadata element, this Constraint element shall override the other one for this operation. The list of required and optional constraints for this operation shall be specified in the Implementation Specification for this service.
4. ows:Metadata [0..*] Optional unordered list of additional metadata about this operation and its' implementation. A list of required and optional metadata elements for this operation should be specified in the Implementation Specification for this service. (Informative: This metadata might specify the operation request parameters or provide the XML Schemas for the operation request.)
