OGC Coverage Implementation Schema | Agrisemantics Map of Data Standards

PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING A QUICK SURVEY ON THE USE OF THIS MAP: click here

OGC CIS defines coverages, that is: spatio-temporally varying phenomena; technically, this unifies (regular and irregular) grids, point clouds, and meshes. In particular, CIS is the OGC datacube standard. Multiple encodings are available, such as XML, JSON, RDF, NetCDF, GeoTIFF, GRIB2, and more. CIS is in active use, supported by a who's who of open-source and proprietary tools, both clients and servers. Official reference implementation is rasdaman.

As opposed to the companion standards ISO 19123 / OGC Abstract Topic 6, CIS stablishes concrete, interoperable coverages amenable to compliance testing, eg, in WCS.

Notes on assessment:

OGC CIS is the basis for coverage services in OGC: WCS, WCPS, WMS, WFS, WPS, SOS, etc. CIS is also adopted by ISO as IS 19123-2:2018. The European SDI initiative, INSPIRE, relies on coverages, WCS, and WCPS likewise.
