<p>Recharting the Web Coverage Service (WCS) Standards Working Group (SWG).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The OGC members listed below have proposed that the Web Coverage Service SWG be rechartered as the "OGC Coverages SWG". The SWG proposal provided in this document meets the requirements of the OGC Technical Committee (TC) Policies and Procedures. The SWG name, statement of purpose, scope, list of deliverables, audience, and language specified in the proposal will constitute the SWG’s official charter.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This SWG will operate under the OGC IPR Policy. The eligibility requirements for becoming a participant in the SWG meetings (see details below) are that:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>You must be an employee of an OGC member organization or an individual member of OGC;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The OGC member must have signed the OGC Membership agreement;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You must notify the SWG chair of your intent to participate to the meetings. Members may do so by logging onto the OGC Portal and navigating to the Observer page and clicking on the link for the SWG they wish to join and;</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Participants may join the SWG at any time. The OGC and the SWG welcome all interested parties.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Non-OGC members who wish to participate may contact the OGC about joining. In addition, the public may access some of the resources maintained for each SWG: the SWG public description, the SWG Charter, Change Requests, and public comments, which will be linked from the SWG’s page.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Please feel free to forward this announcement to any other appropriate lists. The OGC is an open standards organization; we encourage your feedback.</p>

<h3 id="_purpose_of_the_ogc_coverages_standards_working_group">Purpose of the OGC Coverages Standards Working Group</h3>
<div class="paragraph">

<h3 id="_business_value_proposition">Business Value Proposition</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The quarterly Space Foundation <a href="https://promo.spacefoundation.org/tsr/quarterly-reports/TheSpaceReport19Q1.pdf">2019 first quarter Space Report</a> states that 38 percent of the 465 spacecraft deployed in 2018 were deployed for Earth Observation or Remote Sensing missions. A majority of those spacecraft were deployed for commercial purposes. In a separate report by a consulting firm specializing in space markets <a href="http://www.euroconsult-ec.com/earthobservation">report</a>, the market for data and services derived from Earth observation (EO) satellites was forecasted to reach $8.5 billion by 2026.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Much of the coverage data produced by EO satellite programs is used by scientists to help understand environmental change and how communities can improve their management of natural resources. Other applications include, for example, competitor analysis in business and geospatial intelligence in defense and security.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the European INSPIRE legal framework for a common Spatial Data Infrastructure coverages play a central role. In 9 of the 13 themes data appear modeled as coverages, such as Elevation, Land cover, Orthoimagery, Soil, Energy resources, Species distribution, Natural risk zones, and Geology.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With the volume of coverage data growing daily, there is an significant need to find ways to leverage recent advances in technology that can improve the ability of users to discover and access coverages. The goal of the OGC API - Coverages standards work is to leverage some of those technological advances, in particular Web APIs.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_scope_of_work">Scope of Work</h3>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Coverages, as defined in Abstract Topic 6 and Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS), have proven valuable as a unified, comprehensive representation of spatio-temporal grids, point clouds, and meshes. In particular, coverages serve to model "datacubes".</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Web Coverage Service (WCS) with its easy to implement and use core and the manifold extensions has proven a powerful way to access, process, filter, analyse, and combine coverage data, being used on multi-Petabyte satellite image and atmospheric data, among others.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>OGC API - Coverages is a service model base on OpenAPI frameworks. These have helped make describing and sharing API definitions more suitable for interoperability standardization. The concept of a OGC API - Coverages was demonstrated in various OGC Innovation Program initiatives.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Regarding OGC API - Coverages, the OGC Coverages SWG will build on those preliminary efforts to more fully develop and document an OGC API - Coverages candidate standard that will provide a modernized, common, and consistent interface to services that aligns with the current architecture of the Web and the Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/" class="bare">https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/</a>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Before finalizing parts of the future versions of the Coverage Standards, completion of goals should be verified:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Working implementations of all capabilities must be available and tested.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Implementation feedback must be taken into account.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A consequence of this verification is that the period between the availability of what is considered a mature draft and the finalization of the candidate standard may be longer than in the past. The timing is dependent on the availability of evidence about the suitability of the candidate standard based on implementations. Developers should be encouraged as early as possible to implement the draft API specification and provide feedback. An aspect of this is public access to drafts from the beginning. To this end, the SWG intends to use a public GitHub repository in the development of this standard as this is the environment many developers are familiar with and use on a daily basis.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_statement_of_relationship_of_planned_work_to_the_current_ogc_standards_baseline">Statement of relationship of planned work to the current OGC standards baseline</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The proposed OGC API - Coverages standard is intended to be a major component of the OGC API framework. It will take advantage of Web API patterns identified in OGC API standards (e.g., OGC API - Features) and other ongoing API efforts (e.g. OGC API - Common development in the OWS Common SWG) to better align with current and emerging IT practices. The work of the Coverages SWG will complement the previously developed Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS) and provide a means for sharing coverages developed under OGC and other coverage encodings.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_what_is_out_of_scope">What is Out of Scope?</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Proposals for new parts of OGC Coverages or change requests to existing parts must identify the user group that will benefit from the proposal and for each proposed conformance class; otherwise the proposal will be considered out-of-scope.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>OGC API - Coverages is envisioned to be a modular, multi-part standard. Extensions and profiles not identified as in scope in the previous section will require a revision to the SWG charter prior to commencement of work. If a community has a need to develop a profile, the profile should be specified and governed by that community.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The basic resource described in OGC Coverages are coverages. The Coverages SWG describes the interface and exchange of coverages. The definition of coverages is given by the Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS) standard and its encoding standards.</p>
