[QGIS-Developer] WFS DescribeFeatureType Compliance question

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Even, 

We tried to add the qgs namespace as a prefix: 

qgs:alias 

in the DescribeFeatureType response. 

Unfortunately it didn't make Geomedia happy. But as you said - that
depends how it is coded. 

I also asked them what we should do with the alias attribute. Let's see
what they respond. 

Thanks, 

Andreas
