Answers to the NO votes during the vote for adoption of WMTS 1.0.0  1  09-154  Joan Masó  2009-11-10
Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: ElementName schema declaration contradicts specification  1  08-117  R. Martell  2008-08-07
The csw:ElementName declaration in the CSW-discovery.xsd schema assigns the type xsd:QName. However, this prohibits the use of XPath expressions as described in cl. 10.8.4.9 and invalidates Example 1.
Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: Filter_Capabilities element is mandatory  1  08-099  R. Martell  2008-07-21
The element that is introduced as an extension element in csw:CapabilitiesType is required; this is inconsistent with the other top-level elements defined in OWS Common (OGC 05-008), all of which are optional in order to permit selective retrieval using the ‘sections’ parameter.
Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: Service & version request parameters have fixed values  1  08-098  R. Martell  2008-07-21
The service and version request parameters defined in the CSW part (cl. 10) have fixed values (“CSW” and “2.0.2”, respectively) that prohibit profiling.

Consistency of inserting, updating and removing observation offerings and procedures - SOS  1  08-180  Luis Bermudez  2008-11-07
Correct the base type and facet pattern for TypeNameListType in the WFS 1.1.0 Schema  1  09-069  Gerhard Sommer  2009-05-19
GetFeature requests, which use typeNames in the Query element, that
are correct according to the specification (i.e. containing
underscores or making use of aliases), currently do not validate, if
the implementation (i.e. GeoServer in strict cite-conformance mode)
uses schema validation to verify the request.

Filter 1.1 CR: Missing geometry types in GeometryOperandType definition  1  08-100  R. Martell  2008-07-21

xml:lang
xml:id
GML CR - add temporal aggregates  1  08-108  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
A small number of temporal aggregate types are missing from GML, so had do be defined in SWE Common. GML should assume ownership of these.
GML CR - allow "double" in TimePositionUnion  1  08-106  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
Representation of time position in GML does not allow the scientific "e" notation. This is inconsistent with the rest of GML where "xs:double" is the generic numeric form.
GML CR - CityGML extension mechanism  1  08-154  Nicolas Lesage  2008-09-18
GML CR - clarify asDictionary encoding rule  1  08-185r1  Simon Cox  2009-08-06
Proposes adding information to a UML model for a codeList to allow a GML Dictionary instance to be generated automatically according to the encoding rule. The revised CR drops one tagged value ('memberIdentifierStem'), and separates the codeSpace tagged value into 'dictionaryCodeSpace' and 'itemCodeSpace'.
GML CR - clarify asDictionary encoding rule  1  08-185  Simon Cox  2008-11-13
Clarify GML encoding rule for codeList classes tagged asDictionary="true". Includes addition of some new tagged values to support automatic encoding of the dictionary

GML provides gml:id, gml:identifier and gml:name for labels and identifiers. This CR proposes to add more guidance about how to use these.
GML CR - deprecate various components  1  08-114  Simon Cox  2008-08-03
Some components in GML are immature, redundant, or would be better implemented outside the GML namespace. This CR identifies a number of those and recommends that they be marked "deprecated" pending them being refactored in a future version of GML
GML CR - encoding rule for association class  1  08-109  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
A simple encoding rule for association classes is shown. This works by converting an association class into an equivalent intermediate class, then following the standard encoding rule.
GML CR - encoding rule for UML redefine  1  08-112  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
UML redefine (override) is not currently implemented as a GML encoding rule. This CR proposes a solution, which requires one new tagged value, and Schematron.
GML CR - MultiPoint  1  08-160r1  Andrew Woolf  2009-05-13
Adds efficient encoding (SimpleMultiPoint) of GM_MultiPoint to GML
GML CR - parametyric CRS  1  08-158  Andrew Woolf  2008-09-23

Modify GML coverage classes to include ISO 19123 rangeType attribute, for harmonising approaches for range semantics.
GML CR - replace dictionary schema with SKOS  1  08-111r1  Simon Cox  2008-08-03
Dictionary and definition components were included in GML as a stop-gap, pending the appearance of standarized mechanisms. W3C SKSO is now available and provides a functional replacement.
GML CR - replace dictionary schema with SKOS  1  08-111  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
The GML dictionary schema was a stop-gap pending the emergence of more standardized solutions. SKOS from W3C is a functional replacement.

Add support in GML (and correct some anomalies) for spatiotemporal CRS and geometries.
GML CR - use xlinks for property metadata  1  08-113  Simon Cox  2008-08-03

OWS Common change request - Allow URL aliases for operation HTTP endpoints  1  09-011  Keith Pomakis (pomakis@cubewerx.com)  2009-01-19
A Capabilities document needs to be able to provide URL aliases for the endpoints of its operation requests in order to give browser-based client software the ability to make many requests to the server at once (bypassing the browser's built-in throttles). A specific use case for this requirement is the WMTS GetTile request.

Request Base Type  1  09-175  Jolyon Martin  2009-11-20
The XML complexType "RequestBaseType" shown in 9.2.3 is NOT included
in the schema of OWS Common 1.2 - this requires all specifications to

SOS InsertResult Change Request  1  08-177  Kuo-Yu slayer Chuang, Hsu-Chun Yu  2008-11-05
The GetResult operation allows a client to repeatedly obtain sensor data from the same set of sensors. But there is no corresponding InsertResult operation that allows a client to repeatedly upload sensor data.

Add the InsertResult operation to the transaction operations profile or the enhanced operations profile. A client has to upload the observation template only in the first time, and then it can upload sensor data without format description, so as to reduce network bandwidth usage and increase uploading efficiency.

SPS_WPS Change REquest  1  08-037  Pat Cappelaere  2008-03-03
This is a change request to dissolve the SPS and WPS specifications to treat them as workflows under the Business Process Management definition.
SOAP bindings have been defined for workflows (see the Workflow Management Coalition work of Wf-XML) which also address WS-Notification and WS-Addressing. A RESTful approach has been proposed as part of OWS-5: WfXML-R.

The final product of this change request ought to be the official release within the OGC and WfMC communities in June 2009 of WFXML and WfXML-R with any enhancements if needed.

Support for geometry types Null and Circle  1  09-150  Andreas Matheus  2009-11-03
Add support for the geometry types Null and Circle. This can be undertaken by (i) specifying all relevant adidtions in the new
version of the GeoXACML specification, or (ii) by having ISO 19125 changed as such it will support the geometry types Null and Circle and become the new reference for the new version of the GeoXACML
specification.

Web Processing Service Change Request – methods for controlling, and checking the status of asynchronous process  1  09-109  Arif Shaon, Andrew Woolf  2009-08-06
Integrating OGC services with Grid technology is increasingly being seen as beneficial within the OGC community. The latest OGC test bed OWS-6 has run a thread of work that focused on integrating WPS with Grid computing to enable effective handling of resource-intensive geo-processes through standardised WPS. This work identified that the current version of WPS specification does not provide any mechanism for controlling an asynchronous process, which is a standard function of a Grid infrastructure and is often useful for managing the resources used by long running processes. We therefore envision that the users of a Grid-enabled WPS should have this option in order to be able to utilise the full benefit of Grid technology through standardised WPS.

The WPS 1.0.0 specification does not provide any mechanism for querying the status of an asynchronous process, though the specification does require an ExecuteResponse document for an asynchronous process to contain a “statusLocation” attribute for indicating the status URL for the process. This often leads to ad-hoc approaches to implementing a suitable function for checking the status of asynchronous processes through standardised WPS. Hence, it results in non-interoperability between WPS clients, SOAP-based workflows in particular that have the need to submit an asynchronous process for execution, check its status for completion and retrieve the final output through a standardised WPS in an automated way.
