• Use case: Get INSPIRE metadata with coverage
• Dataset: Landesamt für Vermessung und Geoinformation Schleswig-Holstein (SH), Kiel, Germany Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 10m; INSPIRE metadata mapping to coverages and GetCoverage request provided by Datacove E.U.
• Service used: OGC WCS
• Notes: The request subsets the coverage to just a few values because we mainly want to see the coverage's INSPIRE metadata - scroll down the resulting GML code to find the metadata! The coverage modelling follows the recommendations of the INSPIRE Coverage Task Force where the standard OGC coverage model is used and its coverage metadata section holds the INSPIRE metadata, following the OGC standard.
