Cannot validate best practices WCS download
Hi,
After some discussion regarding the Geoserver-WCS and Rasdaman-WCS I looked into Rasmadan as a possible implementation to download our coverage data as INSPIRE compliant GML-Coverage.
The WCS service of Rasdaman seems to validate nicely. However, if I try to validate a GML Coverage downloaded from inspire.rasdaman.org (see [1] for an example) it fails to even upload (Error 400). I expected this GML wouldn't have any problems with the INSPIRE Validator.
Any ideas? Or could someone point me to GML-Coverage implementing an INSPIRE data specification that does validate? I cannot find any.

Dear @Geodeo,
the validator is not able to upload the resource since it is not able to determine its type. It expects the root element to be: "gml:FeatureCollection" or "wfs:FeatureCollection".
In any case, your implementation follows the "Good Practice: OGC compliant INSPIRE coverage data and service implementation", so, at the moment, since the encoding is not compliant with the official INSPIRE ElevationGridCoverage schema, the related validation is not implemented in the INSPIRE REference Validator.
@fabiovinci any insights as to how to get the modified schemas under the Coverage GP formalized?
We're still missing them for a few of the coverage themes, currently the following modified schemas are available:
- Elevation: https://schema.datacove.eu/ElevationGridCoverageMetadata.xsd
- Land Cover: http://test.datacove.eu/LandCoverRasterMDExt.xsd
- Orthoimagery: https://schema.datacove.eu/OrthoimageryMetadata.xsd
- Soil: https://schema.datacove.eu/Soil-Cov.xsd
