Project: QGIS
Version: 3.24
We updated the MetaSearch tool to provide support for the OGC API - Records (OARec) standard. As part of the OGC API evolution, OGC API - Records is the successor to OGC:CSW (like OGC API - Features is to WFS, etc.).
The OGC API - Records standard is currently in development and the current timeline for a public RFC by OGC is Q1 2022. This we ask you to take note of the draft status of the specification so you are aware that the specification may change a bit more over the next few months. We still need to flesh out how actionable links are handled over the next few months (which should be a significant improvement compared to the CSW publish/find/bind workflow).
Adding this feature to QGIS is a huge win for easier search and will help both users and providers for the long term.
