MetaSearch expects the CSW GetRecords response to have either dct:references
or dc:URI with the appropriate @protocol (OGC:WMS, OGC:WFS, OGC:WCS) XML
elements to be able to trigger the WMS/WFS/WCS workflow.  Examples:


<dct:references scheme="OGC:WMS">http://geo.woudc.org/ows</dct:references>

<dc:URI protocol="OGC:WMS" name="ta" description="temperature">http://geoservices.knmi.nl/cgi-bin/inspire/Actuele10mindataKNMIstations.cgi?service=wms&</dc:URI>


Given each CSW server implementation varies you will need to ensure your implementation
is outputting WMS/WFS/WCS links accordingly.
