• Change log - version 4.0 to version 4.1

  • GeoSciML v4.1 differs from GeoSciML v4.0 in two respects:
    • XSD schemas are now located at the OGC schema repository
    • “GeoSciML-Portrayal”, the package for simple WFS and WMS services, is now called “GeoSciML-Lite”.
  • All other aspects of the v4.1 model and schemas are the same as v4.0.
