Linking geographic services

Since version 2.17 (September 2016) and dynamic service documentation, dynamic association automatically generates the right links for applications supported by Isogeo :

  • viewing and extraction links for OpenCatalog;
  • service links compliant with CNIG scenarios A and B.

Results in OpenCatalog

Visualization and extraction in OpenCatalog

Visualization and extraction of geographic services are possible in OpenCatalog for services meeting these prerequisites.

How this works is described in the OpenCatalog documentation.


Results in ISO 19139 XML (and therefore CSW)

For organizations required to comply with the INSPIRE directive, the links in scenarios A and B are generated dynamically. For example, for a WFS service :
