Consider adding EarthObservationResult and its subelement coverage to EO metadata
OGC 10-157r3 "Earth Observation Metadata profile of Observations & Measurements" defines an EarthObservationResult element in section 8.1.4 including a coverage element with the following explanation: "The coverage element is foreseen in order to have the possibility to reference additional
"exploitation" metadata of the EO Product. This exploitation metadata consists of detailed information on the spatial domain of the EO product (origin, offset vectors, grid envelope, axis labels) and the Range Structure (information on the available bands with their names, units of measure, data type and nill value list). As this type of metadata is already defined by the GML 3.2 Application Schema for WCS 2.0 (OGC09-146) that is used within the wcs:CoverageDescriptions Element, it is proposed to let the coverage element defined in this specification refer to a wcs:CoverageDescriptions element that is returned in response to a WCS DescribeCoverage Request. In case the EO Product is offered by a WCS service, this proves a convenient manner to offer this type of metadata without duplicating the
information. In case the product isn't offered by a WCS Service, an alternative HTTP GET URL could be used. An example of the use of the coverage element is: <eop:coverage xlink:href="http://hma.xxx.xx/wcseoserver/ows?Service=WCS&Version=2.0.0&am p;Request=DescribeCoverage&coverageId=coverageId"/>".
