GeoServices Rest SWG

This SWG is focused on processing the OGC GeoServices REST 1.0 candidate standard.
This OGC GeoServices REST Candidate Standard Version 1.0 standard is derived from the “Esri GeoServices REST Specification Version 1.0” which was developed to provide interoperability between ArcGIS Server and the broader information technology community. The candidate standard is designed to be implemented without the use of Esri products. The OGC version differs from the Esri version in that it is presented in a vendor neutral fashion appropriate for an OGC standard. For example the names of the types have been changed. The specification currently provides a JSON encoding, but does not limit alternate JSON representations (such as GeoJSON ).
The SOW includes addressing the OAB comments (Described in section 7.3 of the charter) and adjudicating the comments received during the public review, additional edits to the candidate standard based on the comments, and removal of “esri” prefixes. The final deliverable of the OGC GeoServices REST SWG will be a version of the candidate standard and will follow the OGC modular specification criteria.
