OGC seeks public comment on revision to the OGC Two Dimensional Tile Matrix Set and Tile Set Metadata Standard

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is requesting public comment on a revision to the candidate Two Dimensional Tile Matrix Set and Tile Set Metadata Standard.The Two Dimensional Tile Matrix Set and Tile Set Metadata Standard decouples the standardized definition of a “tile matrix set” from the OGC Web Map Tile Service Standard (WMTS), so that other Standards may use it to take advantage of the performance, storage, and processing benefits that tile matrix sets can bring.The “OGC Two Dimensional Tile Matrix Set and Tile Set Metadata” Standard decouples the concept of a tile matrix set from the WMTS standard so that other standards may reference the concept directly.The candidate Two Dimensional Tile Matrix Set and Tile Set Metadata Standard is available for review and comment on the OGC Portal, accompanied by Release Notes that highlight changes from the first version.Comments are due by December 3, 2021, and should be submitted via the method outlined on the Two Dimensional Tile Matrix Set and Tile Set Metadata Standard’s public comment request page.
