Record fields¶

OGCRecord and record.record_metadata expose common discovery metadata under the record's properties member.

Accessor	JSON property	Meaning
type	type	Resource classification; separate from the top-level Feature type.
title, description	Same name	Human-readable resource metadata.
created, updated	Same name	datetime accessors; serialized as UTC YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ.
keywords	keywords	Discovery terms.
language, languages	Same name	Metadata language dictionaries.
resource_languages	resourceLanguages	Resource language dictionaries.
themes	themes	Theme schemes and concepts.
external_ids	externalIds	External identifiers and optional schemes.
formats	formats	Resource formats.
contacts	contacts	Contact metadata.
license, rights	Same name	License and rights statements.

Absent common metadata returns None. Assigning None removes a property. Accessors do not validate nested schema constraints.

Top-level members such as time, conformsTo, and linkTemplates have separate behavior documented in the OGC Record reference.

Metadata timestamps treat naive datetimes as UTC, convert timezone offsets to UTC, and truncate fractional seconds. Assign None to remove a record timestamp. Contact-link dictionaries remain compatible with string timestamps; serialization normalizes all nested created and updated values without modifying the source dictionaries. Invalid timestamp strings raise ValueError.
