This issue is not new, however was raised in the OSGeo Standards mailing list as a result of the pycsw Incubation process
Problem Statement
FOSS4G software may encounter distribution issues when including OGC Schemas as part of the codebase.
Use of OGC XML Schemas in FOSS4G Implementations
- used to re-publish schemas:
- XML responses cite
xsi:schemaLocationof pointing to locally cached OGC schemas- e.g.
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2 http://HOST/csw/2.0.2/CSW-discovery.xsd">
- e.g.
- XML responses cite
- used within software to perform XML schema validity of XML based HTTP requests
- others?
