HY - Manmadeobject keyword change

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Change proposal description

According to the Hydrography Technical Guidelines, section 11.1 Layers to be provided by INSPIRE view services, one of the keywords for the layer "HY.PhysicalWaters.ManMadeObject" is supposed to be "Dick".

We believe this should be "Dyke" as per the Inspire Gemet Keywords list: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/en/concept/2393

The table in: section 11.1 Layers to be provided by INSPIRE view services
Specifically the Keywords for the layer HY.PhysicalWaters.ManMadeObject

Issue faced

Dick has a very different meaning than Dyke and this looks wrong on our view services.
As such we have already changed our services to use Dyke instead of Dick and we have seen that other countries have done the same.
At the moment the validator doesn't check keywords for view services, but in the future if the validator is going to validate these keywords and the validator follows the technical guidance rules our services would fail.

Proposed solution

Update the table to change "Dick" to "Dyke"
