Interface ServiceIdentification

All Superinterfaces:

Identification

@UML(identifier="SV_ServiceIdentification",
     specification=ISO_19115)
public interface ServiceIdentification
extends Identification

Identification of capabilities which a service provider makes available. The services are provided to a user through a set of interfaces that define a behaviour.

Since:

2.0

Method Detail

getServiceType

@UML(identifier="serviceType",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
GenericName getServiceType()

A service type name.

Examples: "discovery", "view", "download", "transformation", or "invoke".

Returns:

a service type name.

Since:

3.1

getServiceTypeVersions

@UML(identifier="serviceTypeVersion",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Collection<String> getServiceTypeVersions()

The version(s) of the service. Supports searching based on the version of service type.

Example: We might only be interested in OGC Catalogue V1.1 services. If version is maintained as a separate attribute, users can easily search for all services of a type regardless of the version.

Returns:

the version of the service, supports searching based on the version of serviceType.

Since:

3.1

getAccessProperties

@UML(identifier="accessProperties",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default StandardOrderProcess getAccessProperties()

Information about the availability of the service. This includes:

• fee
• planned available date and time
• ordering instructions
• turnaround

Returns:

information about the availability of the service, or null if none.

Since:

3.1

getCouplingType

@UML(identifier="couplingType",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
CouplingType getCouplingType()

Type of coupling between service and associated data (if exist).

Returns:

type of coupling between service and associated data, or null if none.

Since:

3.1

Condition:

mandatory if coupledResources is not provided.

getCoupledResources

@UML(identifier="coupledResource",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Collection<? extends CoupledResource> getCoupledResources()

Further description(s) of the data coupling in the case of tightly coupled services. Returns an empty collection if none.

Returns:

further description of the data coupling in the case of tightly coupled services.

Since:

3.1

Condition:

mandatory if couplingType is not provided.

getOperatedDatasets

@UML(identifier="operatedDataset",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,

Returns:

reference(s) to the resource on which the service operates.

Since:

3.1

Condition:

For one resource either operatedDataset or operatesOn may be used (not both for the same resource).
