ISO 19125-1 and OGC Simple Features differ #494

Open PeterParslow opened 3 months ago

PeterParslow commented 3 months ago

OGC Simple Feature Access (https://www.ogc.org/standard/sfa/) caters for geometries in 3D space; ISO 19125-1 constrains itself to 2D space. Yet the OGC document states that is is "also known as ISO 19125".

There is a lot of history to this which (hopefully!) does not matter now, but it is a confusing situation for users & reviewers.

Would it be best to fast track the OGC document to be a new edition of ISO 19125-1, even though the OGC document is pretty old (published 2006, corrigendum 2010)?

OGC is in the midst of updating Simple Features Access to a new multipart document. That work should go to vote in June 2024 and OGC will be happy to submit a NWIP for revision of the ISO equivalent work.
