Demystifing OGC APIs with GeoServer: introduction and status of implementation
2021-09-29, 16:30–17:00, Ushuaia

Join this presentation for an introduction to OGC API Features, Styles, Maps and Tiles (and more!), the state of their development, their extensions, as well as how well the GeoServer implementation is tracking them.

The OGC APIs are a fresh take at doing geo-spatial APIs, based on WEB API concepts and modern formats, including:

  • Small core with basic functionality, extra functionality provided by extensions
  • OpenAPI/RESTful based
  • GeoJSON first, while still allowing serving to serve data in other formats
  • No mandate to publish schemas for data
  • Improved support for data tiles (e.g., vector tiles)

The presentation will cover several APIs, as well as demostrating the progress achieved by GeoServer in supporting them.
