Adding Layer Specific Information

Layer specific information is defined by elements of the catalog which implements the layer. That is, they are defined by individual elements, such as <wms:CRS>, that are child elements of the Catalog element.

Here is an example of the WMS layer information for a catalog listed in the catalogs.xml:

<wms:Layer>

<wms:Title>GeoEye Missouri - RGB</wms:Title>
