<div>I have to correct myself: In the last mail I wrote WCS but I meant CSW 2.0 (hope this is the correct abbreviation). And I have to acknowledge what Panagiotis (Peter) also wrote:<br> </div>
<div>> the CSW2 specification already includes a "simplified" information model<br>> based on Dublin Core. It is called csw:Record. The relevant schema<br>> files can be found at: <a href="http://schemas.opengis.net/csw/2.0.1">
http://schemas.opengis.net/csw/2.0.1</a></div>

<div>He then proposed one additional association (XML) entity in order to sort out that 'service A offers feature type B' as well as a classification (XML) entity to find WFS services or road feature types. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Two questions here: The two examples you give for classification entity seem to me uneven: To me one would want to find (road) feature types either as file (format) or over a service like WFS.</div>
<div>And before you stated that the client need not know too well the information model in order to formulate a query. Is this now fulfilled with these additions (csw:Record plus 2 new entities)? </div>
