Comment

In the clause 'Prerequisites' there is a question. One answer to that question could be how about all the tests that has something to do with language,

[jensscheerlinck]

Proposed Resolution

Add as prerequisites:
A.3.2 (checks support for language parameter)
A.3.3 (checks whether language parameter is implemented)

[PeterParslow]

See #31; add the general description at A.1.4
Disagree on the pre-requisites:
See #45 which proposes to remove A.3.2, but more importantly A.3.2 & A.3.3 (requirement 10) apply to the Get Capablilties operation, whereas this applies to the Get Records operation.
I don't think there is a pre-requisite, all services are required to support search by language; it's more that the "pass" response will vary depending on what recods are contained.
Also, the purpose of this test case is written as if it is general, but the requirement only applies to the Discover Metadata / GetRecords operation.

[PeterParslow]

I don't see my previous comment as 'agree', because A.3.2 & A.3.3 are testing one operation, and this test case exercises another. I don't think the first two are pre-requisites for this. The reasoning is that the primary purpose of language support advertised in the GetCapabilities response is to do with the way you interact with the service, not the language of the records within the service. This isn't explicit in the TG, and perhaps should be.

Hi Peter, I changed the status to agreed to indicate that we agree with your last comment.
Sorry for the confusion.

Proposed Resolution

Agreed with Peters' comments to:

• add the general description at A.1.4 (see A.01.04.language.parameter #31)
• do not add any prerequisites and remove the placeholder
