OGC Testbed-14 Next Generation APIs
Complex Feature Handling Engineering Report
Possible NASA interest: CMR or other search-oriented services, GIS service providers
- Emphasis is on feature data (i.e. vectors, or "GIS" data)
- Provides introduction to OGC "NextGen services" / "Next Generation APIs"
- "modernized service architecture, that follows the current Web architecture, has a focus on the developer experience, supports the OpenAPI specification [https://www.openapis.org/], and modularizes WFS into building blocks for fine- grained access to spatial data that can be used in APIs for data."
- Section 7.3.6 briefly discusses the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) spec and possible alignment with OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) 3.0
- Discussion in section 8 touches on query languages
- OGC Common Query Language (CQL)
- GraphQL
- XQuery
- WFS 2.0 Query
- GeoSPARQL
