Definitionskos:definition	Catalogue services are the key technology for locating, managing and maintainingdistributed geo-resources (i.e. geospatial data, applications and services). With OGCcatalogue services, client applications are capable of searching for geo-resources in astandardized way (i.e. through standardized interfaces and operations) and, ideally, theyare based on a well-known information model, which includes spatial references andfurther descriptive (thematic) information that enables client applications to search forgeo-resources in very efficient ways.Whereas interfaces and operations of OGC catalogue services are well defined, it is leftup to the developer of the system to define a specific information model which acatalogue service instance provides. This includes, but is not limited to, the informationwhich can be inserted in the catalog, supported query languages, available search terms,response/result sets, etc. This point is of major importance with respect to interoperabilitybetween different catalogue service instances.In Europe, running catalogue instances result from work being done within different SDIinitiatives (e.g. SDI NRW Initiative1, Germany/Netherlands cross-border initiative, JRCEU Portal, EUROSTAT, Inspire, German SDI initiative). Members of these initiativeshave developed an ISO-based application profile for ISO19115 metadata forgeodata/geospatial applications and ISO19119-based metadata for tightly and looselycoupledgeospatial services. The foundations of this profile were the OGC cataloguespecification (1.1.1), the OGC Web Registry Server (WRS) 0.0.2, OGC Web ServicesStateless Catalogue Profile (StCS) 0.0.6 and ISO 19115/19119 for content description.OGC's catalogue revision working group (CS-RWG) has revised and integrated thecatalogue implementation specification v1.1.1 that have resulted in CS 2.0.2. One part ofthis OGC specification comprises the definition of application profiles according to ISO19106 (Geographic information Profiles). The overall goal of these profiles is toimprove interoperability between systems conforming to a specific profile. Experiencehas shown that the need for application profiles results from the fact that in practice, thereis no single solution for catalogue services that fits every users needs. As stated in CS2.0.2, a base profile that provides a basic set of information objects has to be supportedby each catalogue instance; in addition, application profiles for different informationcommunities can be specified.Hence, this document specifies an application profile for ISO 19115:2003/ISO19119:2005 metadata with support for XML encoding per ISO/TS19139:2007 [ISO/TS19139]2 and HTTP protocol binding. It relies on requirements coming from theCS/CSW 2.0 specification (OGC CS 2.0.2, OGC document 07-006). The applicationprofile will form the basis of conformance tests and reference implementations.
