OpenSearch Description provides URL for Describe Spatial Dataset operation

Purpose:

The OpenSearch description must contain a "Url" element that describes a template URL for the Describe Spatial Data Set operation. This template must accept the INSPIRE parameters "spatial_dataset_identifier_code", "spatial_dataset_identifier_namespace" and the OpenSearch "language" parameter. The "Url" element must have an attribute "type" with a value of "application/atom+xml" and an attribute "rel" with the value "describedby".

Test method

• test if the OpenSearch Description provides a Describe Spatial Dataset url
• for this Describe Spatial Dataset url, fill in the parameters for "spatial_dataset_identifier_code", "spatial_dataset_identifier_namespace" and "language" and resolve the Describe Spatial Dataset url and test if it provides a document with content-type "application/atom+xml"
