The Open Geospatial Consortium is seeking public comment on the creation of a GeoDataCube Standards Working Group (SWG). The GeoDataCube SWG will enhance the interoperability between existing datacube solutions, simplify the interaction with different datacubes, and facilitate the integration of data from multiple datacube sources. By following a user-centric approach, the SWG will develop solutions that meet the needs of scientists, application developers, and API integrators.
The goal of the OGC GeoDataCube SWG is to create a new API specifically to serve the core functionalities of GeoDataCubes such as access and processing and to define exchange format recommendations, profiles, and a metadata model. The SWG also aims to analyze usability of already existing Standards and identify use cases.
Similar to other OGC APIs, the GeoDataCube SWG will create this new standard from existing building blocks such as existing geospatial Standards, previous OGC innovation initiatives, and other developer resources in a very use-case driven approach, i.e., with a small core and possible extensions. This will allow for interoperability across future OGC Standards.
