Remote Participation: hosted by De Lathouwer, BartAPI ad hoc Agenda
- open discussion on previous meetings
-
- API’s and the OGC (OGC defines interfaces that enable interoperability of geospatial applications and API’s are a popular method to define interfaces for accessing spatial data in a web browser)
- Agreement on terms, What is an API and what sort of API's do we know ()
- REST, Web API’s
- WebIDL, OGC GeoAPI, ...
- API, SDK, Libraries (Library API’s), toolkits, ...
- OGC geospatial API’s are implementation independant
- use of W3C IDL, other
- what about API that are not implementation independent? (OpenLayers, CMAPI, Leaflet, …)
- Agreement on OGC specifying reusable constructs for RESTful Web APIs
- Use of small bits of OGC for web api providers (WKT, WMTS, CQL/Filter, geoPackage, …)
- API's as defining key geospatial constructs and functionality
- brokering/transformations between the various API’s and representations
- Moving forward
- convergence of Library APIs?
