Ordnance Survey GB and Next Generation OGC API Standards
Pairing Ordnance Survey’s new, easier-to-use data with OGC’s new easy-to-use OGC APIs, OS has launched the OS NGD API – Features product, which provides access to daily-updated, next-gen data, with powerful filtering capabilities.
The 2022 Joint OGC OSGeo ASF Code Sprint – How it went!
Over the past decade, geospatial technologies and data have become more widespread in use and application. A key catalyst for the increased uptake of geospatial technologies is the interoperability achieved through the implementation of Open Standards. Another important catalyst for this increased uptake is the availability of Open Source software products that are able to […]
How it Went! The November 2021 Geospatial API Virtual Code Sprint
From November 15-17, 2021, OGC and ISO/TC 211 jointly hosted the November 2021 Geospatial API Virtual Code Sprint. The code sprint focused on the refinement of the OGC API – Features Standard and its ISO version, ISO 19168. OGC API – Features offers the capability to serve, create, modify, and query spatial data on the Web. The Standard […]
Reflecting on the May 2021 OGC API Code Sprint
APIs have proven to be a popular and very effective enabler of rapid software development. This is more so in web mapping, where a combination of cartographic and software development skills is often needed to create maps for a global user base. As part of OGC’s on-going development of the OGC API suite of standards, OGC […]
The 2021 Joint OGC – OSGeo – ASF Code Sprint – How it went!
From February 17-19, 2021, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), and the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) hosted a joint virtual code sprint. The code sprint served to accelerate the support of open geospatial standards within the developer community. A summary report of the sprint is now available. Part of the motivation for holding […]
