Products that implement the Standard and pass the tests in the ETS can now be certified as OGC Compliant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementers of the Standard are invited to validate their products using the new test suite, available on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cite.ogc.org\/teamengine\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OGC validator tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OGC API &#8211; EDR Standard provides a family of lightweight query interfaces to access spatio-temporal data resources by requesting data at a Position, within an Area, along a Trajectory, or through a Corridor. The API then returns only the data needed by the user or client, reducing data transfer time and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OGC API &#8211; EDR Standard makes it easier to access a wide range of geospatial data through a uniform, well-defined, simple Web interface that shields the user from the complexities of data storage. An example use case of the Standard could be to retrieve, say, weather forecasts for a local area from a much larger national or global forecast dataset \u2013 though many other types of data can be accessed through the API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compliance Testing for OGC API &#8211; EDR involves submitting the web address of an Application Programming Interface (API) that implements the Standard. These tests typically take only 5-10 minutes to complete. Once a product has passed the test, the implementer can submit an application to OGC for use of the Certified OGC Compliant trademark on the product and associated marketing materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To support developers of products that implement the Standard, version 0.9.0 of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pygeoapi.io\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pygeoapi<\/a>\u00a0product has been designated a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ogc.org\/resource\/products\/details\/?pid=1663\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reference implementation<\/a>\u00a0of the Standard after the software successfully passed the compliance tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ogc.org\/how-our-compliance-program-works\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OGC Compliance Program<\/a>&nbsp;is a certification process that ensures organizations&#8217; solutions are compliant with OGC Standards. It is a universal credential that allows agencies, industry, and academia to better integrate their solutions. OGC compliance provides confidence that a product will seamlessly integrate with other compliant solutions regardless of the vendor that created them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about how the family of OGC API Standards work together to provide modular \u201cbuilding blocks for location\u201d that address both simple and the most complex use-cases, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ogcapi.ogc.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ogcapi.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>More information about the OGC compliance process is available at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ogc.org\/compliance\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ogc.org\/compliance<\/a>.
