OGC API Standards: Enhancing Digital Infrastructure
summary
OGC frames interoperability as concrete APIs: OGC API Tiles for map/vector/coverage tiles (used by Ordnance Survey’s OS and GD API), OGC API Environmental Data Retrieval for spatio‑temporal sampling (Meteorological Service of Canada publishes thousands of time‑enabled layers), and OGC API Features for vector data (EU INSPIRE — 400 million residents — adopts it; North Rhine‑Westphalia uses LDProxy). More than 500 member organizations collaborate on standards that claim to reduce vendor lock‑in, speed development, and lower costs; Test Engine offers free compliance tests and paid certification.
