I am quite surprised to discover several WFS services (v1.0.0) running on the web which are not compliant with the OGC WFS-1.0.0 standard. In the framework of my project, I use a JAXB binding built with the XSD schemas from the OGC, and notably the schemas for WFS v1.0.0. As you imagine, not OGC-compliant services are a problem in such a project.

The problem of compliance is for example the XML element:

/WFS_Capabilities/ServiceIndentification

which is replaced by:

/WFS_Capabilities/Service

For example in the capabilities: http://www.disasterschartercatalog.org/ogc/cecec4wfs?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS

Is anyone know the reasons of this? is it something common?

This following one is correct:

/WFS_Capabilities/Service

as defined by the following portion of the schema definition for version 1.0.0 

<xsd:element name="Service" type="wfs:ServiceType"/>

Take a look at 12.3.3 Service section in the Web Feature Service Implementation Specification (OGC 02-058)

My mistake, sorry, I thought that WFS-1.0.0 and 1.1.0 use OWS-1.0 but actually it is not the case... my mistake, I will delete my question soon. – njames Jul 28 '12 at 12:42
