My original motivation to adjust the ows_extent was to treat this problem
but following your advice e changing the units to decimal degrees my zoom
problem was solved, thanks a lot!

Yes, I suggested UNITS DD because your output and input image units are

I did not had a PROJECTION element other than the one in my LAYER element.
Now based on the lines bellow outputted by gdalinfo:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",

I've created the following PROJECTION element:
    PROJECTION
        "proj=latlong"
        "ellps=WGS84"
        "datum=WGS84"
    END

But I'm not sure if that's correct.

Here goes my hole mapfile (based on the mapserver demo Itasca mapfile):
MAP

Are there other LAYER statements in the file?

No, I'm just trying with one at the moment for the sake of simplicity.

In fact I want to display a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) image through WCS
(Web Coverage Service) in order to open it in the OpenJUMP application (The
use of OpenJUMP is a mandatory requirement). For that I want first to test
the availability of WCS of this DEM in the MapServer Demo application.

That's my current strategy to achieve this objective, any suggestions would
be most appreciated :) (but I know, this can be a subject for a hole new
post to this list).
