The COG data format builds on the established GeoTIFF format that has been accepted as a ESCO standard.  Similar to how GeoTIFF built off the existing standard TIFF images by adding geo-referencing information, COG builds off of GeoTIFF to add features needed to optimize data use in a cloud based environment.

...

The second is HTTP GET range requests, that let clients ask for just the portions of a file that they need. Together these enable fully online processing of data by COG-aware clients, as they can stream the right parts of the GeoTIFF as they need it, instead of having to download the whole file.



A COG is a regular GeoTIFF file with three features enabled:

1. Internal overviews added

2. Internal tiling is enabled and tile size is properly defined

3. Internal compression is enabled

COG is currently a OGC draft candidate (http://docs.ogc.org/DRAFTS/21-026.html).
