The OGC Application Programming Interface (API) suite of standards is a family of Web APIs that have been created as extensible specifications designed as modular building blocks that enable access to spatial data that can be used in data APIs. This presentation provides an insight into OGC API activities, developments and an outlook on what to expect in the last quarter of the year and 2022. And it will give an update on the "hot" topics around OGC APIs and OGC open standards, the collaboration of OSGeo and OGC and how we can further develop open standards together.
