OGC seeks public comment on candidate OGC API – Tiles – Part 1: Core Standard
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) seeks public comment on the candidate OGC API – Tiles – Part 1: Core Standard.As with other OGC API Standards, OGC API – Tiles is delivered in ‘Parts’ that allow developers to pick and choose the functionality they want in the API they are building.A web API can combine some requirements classes of this candidate OGC API standard with other OGC API standards (including OGC API – Common) to add functionality to said web API.The candidate OGC API – Tiles Standard can, therefore, be used to publish tiled maps (e.g., PNG, JPEG), tiled feature data (e.g., GeoJSON Vector Tiles, Mapbox Vector Tiles), or tiled coverages (e.g., netCDF, GeoTIFF).The candidate OGC API Tiles – Part 1: Core Standard is now open for public review and comment.
