```
public interface ResourceInfo
```
This interface defines methods to convey information about some resource such as title, keywords, description and spatial parameters.
It is based on Dublin Core (a metadata specification initiative; http://dublincore.org/) and the RDF application profile.
There are two ids that may be associated with a resource:
- name - unqiue within the context of a Service
- schema - used to identify the type of resource
Since:

2.5

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`ReferencedEnvelope`	`getBounds()`	Returns the bounds of the resource, expressed in the native coordinate reference system.
`CoordinateReferenceSystem`	`getCRS()`	Returns the coordinate reference system of this resource if known.
`String`	`getDescription()`	Returns a description or abstract for this resource.
`Set<String>`	`getKeywords()`	Returns keywords associated with this resource for use with searches etc.
`String`	`getName()`	Returns the name of this resource within the context of its service.
`URI`	`getSchema()`	A namespace, in the form of a `URI`, used to identify the resource type.
`String`	`getTitle()`	Returns the resource's title.

- Method Detail
  - getTitle
```
String getTitle()
```
    Returns the resource's title.
    The title is human readable text representing the resource, in the current locale if available.
    
    Returns:
    
    tile, in the current locale if available.
  - getKeywords
```
Set<String> getKeywords()
```
    Returns keywords associated with this resource for use with searches etc.
    Known Mappings:
    
    Maps to Dublin Core's Subject element
    Returns:
    
    Keywords or null if unavailable
  - getDescription
```
String getDescription()
```
    Returns a description or abstract for this resource.
    Known Mappings:
    
    WFS GetCapabilities abstract
    WMS GetCapabilities abstract
    The description may be in the current locale if known.
    Returns:
    
    description of resource, or null if unavailable
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns the name of this resource within the context of its service.
    Known mappings:
    
    WFS typeName
    Database table name
    WMS layer name
    level of a grid coverage
    The name should be unique within the context of a single Service.
    Returns:
    
    name of this resource
  - getSchema
```
URI getSchema()
```
    A namespace, in the form of a URI, used to identify the resource type.
    Known Mappings:
    
    Dublin Code Format element
    WFS DescribeFeatureType URL
    file.toURI()
    XML namespace
    URL
    Returns:
    
    namespace, used with getName() to identify resource type
  - getBounds
```
ReferencedEnvelope getBounds()
```
    Returns the bounds of the resource, expressed in the native coordinate reference system. IF the bounds are unknown or undefined calling isNull() on the returned envelope will return true.
    
    Returns:
    
    bounds of the resource if defined; otherwise an envelope where the isNull() returns true
  - getCRS
```
CoordinateReferenceSystem getCRS()
```
    Returns the coordinate reference system of this resource if known.
    Known Mappings:
    
    2nd part of the Dublin Core Coverage
    Shapefile prj file
    WFS SRS
    Returns:
    
    CRS of the resource, or null if unavailable.
