[OWSLib-devel] Couple questions about owslib.iso:MD_Metadata

[Ryan Clark]

I tried to map out for myself the relationship between the owslib.iso:MD_Metadata class and the XPaths in ISO XML. I was trying to get my head around what owslib supports, where it supports multiplicity, and that kind of thing. I wrote it out as a json object and might iterate on it once or twice. If it's every helpful to anyone else, its here: https://gist.github.com/rclark/5154432

I came away with two questions:
- How come some items are recorded as dict and other's get dedicated classes? For example, srv:containsOperations and gmd:descriptiveKeywords end up in dict objects, but there's a CI_Date class.
- It looks like there's discrepancy in how extents are handled between MD_DataIdentification and SRV_ServiceIdentification. If I'm reading it right, I don't think the SRV_ServiceIdentification case will even work properly. Should I adjust to use the same logic in the two situations?

Thanks!
