Abstract
Over the past several decades a significant number of geospatial datasets have been published on the Web. Many of those datasets were published through implementations of classic OGC Web Service standards. As time has gone past, the architecture of web applications has evolved, propelled by new Web and Internet standards. This evolution of web application architecture has led to a revolution in how geospatial datasets are published on the Web. To ensure that the revolution in geospatial data publication has interoperability at its core, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has developed a series of Web Application Programming Interface (API) standards. The OGC API suite of standards is a family of specifications that have been designed as modular building blocks that spatially enable Web APIs that offer access to spatial data and implementations of geospatial algorithms. These revolutionary APIs make location information more accessible than ever before through the use of the OpenAPI specification for describing interfaces. The use of the OpenAPI specification means that implementations of OGC API Standards can describe themselves to levels of detail previously unachievable through the classic OGC Web Service standards. Such an ability to self-describe is significant because it has enabled software developers from a variety of disciplines to implement OGC API Standards to address the needs of their communities. This presentation will provide an overview of the background, current status, and future plans for the development of OGC API Standards. The presentation will describe plans for the development of resources that improve the ability of developers to implement OGC API Standards. The presentation will also present a selection of case studies of open source software that has been implemented or enhanced during OGC Innovation activities such as testbeds, hackathons, and sprints (including the 2022 Joint Code Sprint organised by OGC, OSGeo and the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)).
