[pycsw-devel] on/off/default behaviour of facets

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi Paul: we discussed this in [1] and determined that facets would need to
be explicitly specified (users may not want facets and simply search),
which will become part of the forthcoming OGC API - Records - Part 2:
Facets extension.  So this aligns with our implementation in pycsw so far.
