[mapserver-dev] metadata language parameter (inspire)

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi Martin,



I am not aware of current plans related to supporting the concept of 
extended capabilities in WMS.
I am not really familiar with the INSPIRE specs, and I am not also sure 
I fully understand  what functionality is expected from a MapsServer wms 
point of vue: beside the fact that somehow we can configure MapServer to 
return the INSPIRE language settings in the capability document, what is 
excepted from MapServer  when a language parameter is sent through a 
request? (possibility use language specific meta data such as 
wms_title_english or wms_title_french, ignore the language setting 
resulting in the default language ..)
I would be willing to put some effort toward this provided we define 
properly what is expected.

best regards,
