• Use case: Get INSPIRE metadata with coverage
• Service used: OGC WCS
• Dataset: Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), Finland Landcover data; INSPIRE metadata mapping to coverages and GetCoverage request provided by Datacove E.U.
• 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.

WCS Result

WCPS - subsetting followed by GML encoding - thereby achieving exactly the same result:
