A copyright element
The AKN data sharing policy element
A comment element

The <covar-spat> element will contain decimal_latitude and decimal_longitude attributes from the request parameters, as well as a global-unique-ident attribute if the data request was based on a GlobalUniqueID.

The data listing is a series of <tableName> elements containing <data-record> elements. (Each <tableName> element identifies the name of the particular source table from which the data was pulled.) The <data-record> element contains 1 <attribute-data> element if the request was for a specific layer value, and N <attribute-data> elements if the request was for the contents of the entire table. The <attribute-data> contains the <field-name>, and <field-value> elements. If the <field-value> is a data range, i.e. precipitation and some temperature attributes are expressed as a range, the <attribute-data> will include a <field-value-description> element containing the actual data range string for the value (See the discussion about data range in the /ws1.0/ref/covar/metadata request.)
