Abstract
Documentation:
Reference to a source of metadata describing coverage offerings available from this server. This parameter can reference a catalogue server from which dataset metadata is available. This ability is expected to be used by servers with thousands or millions of datasets, for which searching a catalogue is more feasible than fetching a long Capabilities XML document. When no DatasetDescriptionSummaries are included, and one or more catalogue servers are referenced, this set of catalogues shall contain current metadata summaries for all the datasets currently available from this OWS server, with the metadata for each such dataset referencing this OWS server.
