Catalog

- Metasearch; what are the expected/agreed best practices to link to OGC services from a Dublin Core metadata record, so metasearch is able to activate add-to-map button? Is it possible to specify a specific layer in the service so metasearch will not display the capabilities-layer-selection.

- OGC API Catalog (AKA Cat 4) in OGC, MetaSearch, pyGeoAPI, GeoNetwork, Geoserver, deegree

- Catalogs typically use OGC services to provide data previews of listed datasets. OGC is creating a batch of new OGC-API standards which will likely impact catalogs. Many catalogs delegate to OpenLayers and JSONIX to communicate to OGC services. To hear is the status of OpenLayers and JSONIX about ideas on new OGC API's
