Is it possible to have more than one layer in the same wms-service of orthophotos?

[sebros123]

Hello!

According to the specification "inspire_dataspecification_oi_v3.0" it looks like this:

Lantmäteriet has several different orthophotos in the same WMS-service, how should one think here?
Is OI.OrthoimageCoverage a prefix that can be used? Or does the spec say that there should only be one orthophoto per viewing service?

Dear @sebros123,
it is possible to provide several different orthophotos in the same WMS-service. You can create a "Layer Group" named OI.OrthoimageCoverage and provide the orthophotos as layers of this group. There is no fixed naming rule for the layers in the group.

Thank you very much for your answer, it helps us to move forward :)

@sebros123
can we proceed with closing this issue? (Clearly you could re-open / open a new one should you have any other questions)

[sebros123]

@sMorrone
Yes we can do that, thank you

Hi again! @sMorrone

The name of the top layer is ‘OI.OrthoimageCoverage’ but the ETF validator still says we have bad layer names for the layers inside the group.

You wrote earlier that "There is no fixed naming rule for the layers in the group". Is it the case that the layers must have the prefix OI.?

Or can ju give me a hint how the layergroup must be configured?

@sebros123
could you provide the WMS service endpoint (so that we can have a look and in case open an issue in the INSPIRE-validator helpdesk)?

@jescriu
could you provide your OI expert support to this discussion? Thank you

Here is the GetCapabilities-file from the production ortofoto WMS-service.
Orthofoto_Inspire_WMS_TEST.txt

I can ask if our developer can join the diskussion

Dear @sebros123,

please have a look at this comment which explains the status of this issue.

I tried to validate your WMS in the staging instance, using the local copy of the GetCapabilities document, and there is no error for the "at39-getcapabilities-layer-name" test.

So that means your implementation is right.

Please do a test using the online version of the GetCapabilities document and let us know if everything is ok.

@fabiovinci Thank you,

I'll do it and get back to you.

Dear @sMorrone,

Although this issue was originated with a view service related to the the Orthoimagery theme, I think that the overlying problem is related to implementation of view services in general.

Thanks @fabiovinci for pointing to Issue #39 in the helpdesk of the INSPIRE Reference Validator, which is in the pipeline for addressing the problem.
