[MapServer-dev] RFC-140 - MapServer Homepage

[Even Rouault]

Seth,

Thanks for putting this together. I'm wondering how much your proposal 
relates/intersects with the concept of the landing page of OGC API 
services ? You mention some connection with it, but it is not 
immediately clear to me  the exact nature of the connection. Perhaps it 
is just a matter of clarifying. I have put zero thoughts in it, but it 
would feel weird to invent a MapServer specific thing, so I'm naively 
wondering if we can't we just adopt the landing page formalism (for the 
JSON part), and potentially extend it by exposing old WxS services as 
well in the links as you suggest? I'm also wondering if there's some 
best practice used by other projects on how to expose for things like

{
             "href": 
"https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities",
             "title": "GetCapabilities",
             "type": "WMS"
         },

so they can be interoperably consumed.
