Description
This is a simple request: if the table or column description information has been filled in - publish this description (somehow) through the geotools api.
There are two good candidates:
- DataStore.getInfo and DataStore.getInfo( Name ) to retrieve database and table descriptions
- AttributeDescriptor for column description information; even if we need to make use of the user properties for the short term
We should be able to communicate:
- display name --> title
- description --> abstract
The driver for this bug report is the CCIP integration showcase where MarkLeslie has filled in all the table descriptions in the PostGIS database; and a lot of the column descriptions as well. It would be good to leverage this work as default descriptions; rather than copying and pasting the text out of pgAdmin.
