wfs:GetCapabilitiesType

          Request to a WFS to perform the GetCapabilities operation.
          This operation allows a client to retrieve a Capabilities
          XML document providing metadata for the specific WFS server.

          The GetCapapbilities element is used to request that a Web Feature
          Service generate an XML document describing the organization
          providing the service, the WFS operations that the service
          supports, a list of feature types that the service can operate
          on and list of filtering capabilities that the service support.
          Such an XML document is called a capabilities document.
