LuciadFusionInterface ILcdCSWQueryHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

ALcdCSWFilterQueryHandler

public interface ILcdCSWQueryHandler

Validates and executes CSW record queries on an underlying metadata repository. Implementations need to construct and execute one or more internal queries based on a CSW query's filter constraint. The handler also needs to take into account the output format, content and sorting of the resulting metadata records.

See ALcdCSWFilterQueryHandler for an abstract implementation restricted to OGC filter.

Since:

2017.0
