Update to a fundamental OGC/ISO standard brings geometric calculations of distance and area, as well as support for web scripting languages with dynamic features.
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) seeks public comment on an update to the Simple Features Standard. Comments are due by August 26, 2021.
Simple Features, OGC’s earliest standard and jointly published with ISO, describes how a user can model the location of “features” (a geometric representation of anything of interest) in a 2-dimensional space representing the surface of a planet as a geoid and any globe or map derived through a projection.
In technical terms, Simple Features can model geometries which display geographic features of 1-dimension (curves) and 2-dimension (areas) defined by one-dimension boundary curves. If the application requires elevation, then the uses of latitude (φ), longitude (λ) and elevation (h) can be added.
