Ready for OGC-NA Review: OGC API - Common - Part 2: Geospatial Data

[ghobona]

OGC-NA,

The document titled "OGC API - Common - Part 2: Geospatial Data" with reference number 20-024 is now available for review by the OGC Naming Authority (OGC-NA) Subcommittee.

https://portal.ogc.org/files/?artifact_id=99149 (OGC Member access only)

Please review the document by 22:00 UTC on Apr 26, 2022 focusing on its conformance to OGC-NA policies.

OGC-NA policies can be found at https://www.ogc.org/standards/na

The most relevant policies are:

• OGC-NA Name type specification - definitions (09-048r5)
• OGC-NA Name type specification - specification elements (10-103r1)

This candidate standard proposes use of the /rm/ segment to identify requirements modules, for example http://www.opengis.net/spec/ogcapi-common-2/1.0/rm/collection.

A Requirements Module is defined as an "aggregate of requirements and recommendations of a specification against a single standardization target type" (OGC 08-131r3).

Clause 8.3 of the OGC-NA policy on Specification Elements suggests that the second step after the /req/ field provides the name of a requirements-module or requirement. For example, http://www.opengis.net/spec/OMXML/2.0/req/measurement/result-measure.

Use of the /rm/ segment appears to be a clearer way of distinguishing between a URI of a requirement and that of a requirements module.
