OGC APIs: Web API Standards for Handling and Exchanging Location Data
summary
OGC publishes a modular suite of web-API specs (Features, Processes, EDR, Coverages, Tiles, Maps, Styles, Records, Routes, DGGS and Common) with ISO 19168-1 adoption for Features, example OpenAPI description bundles and public GitHub repos. Implementations appear as both monoliths and microservices using Docker / Kubernetes, and working proofs exist in QGIS, GeoServer, OpenSphere plus demos in Unity and Jupyter; uptake spans government, commercial and research, and recommended ASF integrations include Jena ingestion, Solr spatial search and NiFi process invocation.
