Geospatial APIs ad hoc in OGC meeting next month
Hello all
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) will have a Geospatial APIs ad hoc
session in Barcelona (Spain) on Wednesday, 11 March, from 9:00 to 10:25
[1]. This is a new initiative, of wider scope than GeoAPI (a separated
session for GeoAPI will happen the same day, 12:00 to 12:55).
OGC has been focussed on data formats (XML, NetCDF, GeoTIFF) and Web
Services for the last years. GeoAPI is a very minor project compared to
other OGC standards. However there is needs for a geospatial API, as
seen from various projects using the XSD files for this purpose. There
is questions about whether OGC should care about programmatic API, or
keep his current focus on data formats and web services mostly.
I think that the technical discussion will be kept to a minimum (just
enough for understanding the problems of current situation). In my
understanding, the main purpose of the "Geospatial APIs ad hoc" session
is to determine if OGC should move to an official position statement.
This question has been raised by discussions in the OCC Planning
Committee (PC).
We are going to give a talk in this discussion for explaining GeoAPI.
Apache SIS is currently the main "proof of concept" for GeoAPI 3.0. Does
anyone consider comming to this OGC meeting and would like to
participate to this session? By the way, the schedule is very full [1],
so this meeting is likely to be quite instructive.

Thanks a lot Chris!
The next meeting after Barcelona will be in Boulder (Colorado) in June.
Maybe there will be some follow-up there (I'm not sure yet if I will be
able to go).

Great question Martin. This meeting precisely overlaps with
some internal project meetings I have at JPL and unfortunately
I won’t be able to get approval for international travel. However,
I have mentioned Apache SIS several times in the context of the
NASA Earth Science Data Systems WG to many folks including
George Percival/OGC and Jeff Walter/NASA, etc., as being the real
exemplar at Apache for implementation of OGC services.
Even though I won’t be at the meeting I’ll be there in spirit
cheering you on! :-)
Cheers!
