Coverages SWG 
The Coverages.SWG is a standing WG working on the Coverages suite of standards. A coverage is defined as a 'space-time varying phenomenon', such as 1D sensor time series, 2D remote sensing imagery, 3D x/y/t satellite image time series and x/y/z geophysical data, as well as 4D x/y/z/t atmospheric and ocean data.

- 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.
