Coverages.SWG 
This session addresses aspects of coverages, in particular: regular and irregular grids aka datacubes. New standardization activities and motions raised will be addressed.
- In the first 45min coverage data specs (Abstract Topic 6 and Coverage Implementation Schema, CIS) as well as service specs (such as WCS, WCPS) will be in focus.
- In the remaining 45min, GeoDataCube, and OAPI-Coverages will be in focus.
Project: Coverages SWG (read more...)
- Coverages, as defined in Abstract Topic 6 and Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS), have proven valuable as a unified, comprehensive representation of spatio-temporal grids, point clouds, and meshes. In particular, coverages serve to model "datacubes".
- Web Coverage Service (WCS) with its easy to implement and use core and the manifold extensions has proven a powerful way to access, process, filter, analyse, and combine coverage data, being used on multi-Petabyte satellite image and atmospheric data, among others.
- OGC API - Coverages is a service model base on OpenAPI frameworks. These have helped make describing and sharing API definitions more suitable for interoperability standardization. The concept of a OGC API - Coverages was demonstrated in various OGC Innovation Program initiatives.
