Description
i wonder if we can implement some of the internals of geopandas and ipython, to have better integrations with those libraries
this came up while preparing the geopython training
for example:
## shapely
implements a _repr_svg_() method on geometries, this is picked up by ipython, to display the svg whenever the variable is logged (in jupyter etc)
## geopandas
implements a _repr_html_() on dataframes, so whenever the dataframe is logged a nice table structure is displayed (in jupyter etc)
i wonder if we could implement that function on owslib responses
## wfs
to capture a wfs response in a geodataframe, i can use the raw gml response in gpd.read_file
```
gdf = geopandas.read_file(wfs11.getfeature(typename='ms:cities'))
```
## ogc-api-features
to capture a ogcapi-features response in a geodataframe, i can benefit from the fact they are a list of geo-features, this should also work for ogcapi-records
```
gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame.from_features(lakes_query['features'])
```
## csw
to capture the response of a csw query in a dataframe, this works ok-ish
```
gdf = geopandas .GeoDataFrame([r.__dict__ for r in thecsw.records.values()])
```
Maybe we can provide a table or json view of returned records which can instantly be loaded in a dataframe?

Research direction
Start with the WFS, OGC API Features/Records, and CSW response examples in the issue, then review how their returned objects could be represented for IPython and consumed by GeoPandas. Done should be a clearly scoped integration approach covering the requested notebook display and dataframe-loading use cases.
