Reader Overview
The CSW reader queries a CSW compliant server for catalogue records with a search.
Every record returned from the search is represented by the CSW reader with a single feature type.
The CSW reader currently supports searching for records using either text-based and/or bounding-box-based methods. Please refer to the Search Settings for information about specifying a search text, or Use Search Envelope for information about specifying a bounding box. The search text provided by the user will be the feature type for all the records returned in that search. If the search text was not provided, the feature type will be set to CSW Records.
