<P><FONT size=2>In the WCS schema it's just a string so I don't believe there's
anyway to check the validity based on the schema definitions which is why the
samples didn't break. It makes sense that native format *should* be one of the
supported formats (the annotation in the schema says as much). That does cause a
problem because it would mean any format the GDAL could not write could not be
referenced as a native format- that's not good. I suppose you'd just ommit it in
that case. The formats code list itself is created from the wcs_formats metadata
which needsto match the names of the various output formats you define in the
metadata.<BR><BR>So, in short, wcs_nativeformat should match one of the formats
listed in wcs_formats. It will not break anything if that is not true. Perhaps
we should enforce this.<BR><BR>The WCS how-to is not intended to exist apart
from the implementation specifications, so you may at times need to refer to
that document. Should you find errors or need more information then please
contact me. Help enhancing documentation would be most
welcome.<BR><BR>Steve<BR><BR>>>> Jeroen Ticheler

like to have some more background on some items of the map <BR>file used
for a time series WCS.<BR><BR>I ran into the element "wcs_nativeformat" that has
the value "raw <BR>binary" in the WCS samples. Are the values for this item
free text, <BR>or should they be a value from a restricted list. (Or should
I dive <BR>straight into the OGC-WCS specs now?)<BR><BR>Other elements
listed also lack information on their use. Can I help <BR>to improve them
or is anyone planning to update the page?<BR><BR>Thanks in
advance.<BR>Jeroen<BR>_______________________<BR>Jeroen
