[mapserver-users] Mapserver metadata

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Hi,

The mapserver docs describe map & layer level metadata. eg:

Map object: 



	
	
	
	
	
	
	


	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	

wms_abstract
WMS TAG Name: Abstract
	(WMS1.1.1, sect. 7.1.4.2) 
	
	Description: (Optional) A blurb of text providing
	more information about the WMS server. 
	


Layer object:
wms_abstract
Same
	as wms_abstract in the Web Object.


What is not clear to me is whether a layer will automatically and explicitly inherit the map object content if there is no layer level item present, and whether the layer level content will supercede the map level content if present.

Thus, if I set a map object attribution content, or keywords, will these explicitly apply to every layer described in a capabilities document, or is it up to the client application to apply map level content to the layer objects.


Thanks,

  Brent Wood
