<p>Hi Even,</p>
<p>We tried to add the qgs namespace as a prefix:</p>
<p>qgs:alias</p>
<p>in the DescribeFeatureType response.</p>
<p>Unfortunately it didn't make Geomedia happy. But as you said - that depends how it is coded.</p>
<p>I also asked them what we should do with the alias attribute. Let's see what they respond.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
<p><br /></p>

<br />It is invalid. The schema returned by the above requst doesn't validate <br />against the XML schema of XML schema :-) from<br /><a href="https://www.w3.org/2009/XMLSchema/XMLSchema.xsd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.w3.org/2009/XMLSchema/XMLSchema.xsd</a><br /><br />

<br />Yes, using qgsextension:alias would validate XMLSchema.xsd as it has a <br />provision for extra attributes in another namespaces.<br />That doesn't mean that Geomedia would be ready for it though. Depends on how <br />it is coded...<br /><br />Even</div>
