When pycsw receives a csw:Harvest request to harvest an OGC:SOS 2.0.0 instance, pycsw will:

- create one metadata record for the service instance (from the SOS *service* metadata)
- create one metadata record foreach ObservatingOffering

The functionality can be found in pycsw.core.metadata._parse_sos [1] and uses OWSLib
behind the scenes for the parsing.

Hope this helps.
