Known metadata gaps
Recorded explicitly rather than guessed.
- No DOI is registered for the service.
- The checksum recorded here is of the single filtered query response Lithoen retrieved — the 2,417 polygons whose lithology mentions ultramafic — not of the whole 242,703-polygon layer, which is served rather than distributed as a file.
- The identityConfidence field exists on every feature and is NULL on every one of the 2,417 retrieved. The dataset therefore states no confidence for any of these units, and Lithoen supplies none.
- The service declares EPSG:3857 and the response was requested in EPSG:4326, so the server performed the reprojection. The CRS of the underlying compilation is not stated by the service.
