Dataset metadata validation – problem with linking to both WFS and Atom

[VeronikaKusova]

Hi,
I am validating dataset metadata. We provide WFS and Atom services (both) for most of our datasets. When I validate the metadata of the data, which contains WFS and Atom service in the distributionInfo, the test is passed with manual check for CC 8: INSPIRE data sets and data set series linked service metadata (see the picture below and the attached report). The descriptive message in the test does not make sense neither: “Please review that the Resource locator URL points to the response of the Get View Service Metadata request of the related Network Service.” Because it mentions view service in the part dedicated to download service linking.
Test report: Test_report_WFS_Atom_both.zip

But when there is only WFS or Atom mentioned in the metadata distributionInfo (just one of them), the CC 8 is passed without the need for manual control (see the picture below).
Test report: Test_report_WFS_only.zip

Metadata file: CZ-CUZK-TN_AIR_test.zip

Best regards.
Veronika

Dear @VeronikaKusova,

regarding the error message, there is a typo, since it should refer to the Download Service. We will fix it.

It seems that the validator is not able to proper detect the declaration od the Download service because you used only one "<gmd:transferOptions>/<gmd:MD_DigitalTransferOptions>" for all services.

According to the related requirement (TG Requirement 1.8) you should use separate elements.

Please have a look at the metadata example for the right encoding.

Could you please encode all the resource locators properly and validate the metadata again?
