| OpenGIS® Sensor Event Service Interface Specification | 0.3.0 | 08-133 | Johannes Echterhoff, Thomas Everding | 2008-10-10 |
| The Sensor Event Service (SES) provides operations to register sensors at the service application and let clients subscribe for observations available at the service. The service performs filtering of sensor data (streams) based upon the filter criteria defined in these subscriptions. Filters can be applied on single observations but also on observation streams, potentially aggregating observations into higher-level information (which itself can be regarded as observation data). Whenever matches are discovered, a notification is sent to the subscriber, using asynchronous, push-based communication mechanisms. |

| OWS5: OGC Web feature service, core and extensions | 0.9.0 | 08-079 | John Herring | 2008-09-12 |
| This standard specifies the behavior of a service that provides transactions on and access to geographic features in a manner independent of the underlying data store. It specifies discovery operations, query operations and transaction operations. Discovery operations allow the service to be interrogated to determine its capabilities and to retrieve the application schema that defines the feature types that the service offers. Retrieval operations allow features to be retrieved from the opaque underlying data store based upon constraints on spatial and non-spatial feature properties defined by the client. Transaction operations allow features to be created, changed and deleted from the opaque underlying data store. |

| This OGC document reports the work that occurred in the OWS2 Test Bed Common Architecture thread. This thread focused on the use of UDDI/WSDL/SOAP in the OGC Web Services architecture. It also provides guidelines for the use of these technologies. |
| Web Image Classification Service (WICS) | 0.3.3 | 05-017 | Wenli Yang, Arliss Whiteside | 2005-02-10 |
| The Web Image Classification Service (WICS) supports classification of digital images. A digital image is composed of pixel values organized into one or more two-dimensional arrays. The two dimensions of an image represent two axes in space based on a spatial coordinate reference system. The dimensions of the different 2-D arrays comprising an image must be the same and represent exactly the same spatial locations. |
| Web 3D Service | 0.3.0 | 05-019 | Udo Quadt, Thomas Kolbe | 2005-02-02 |
| The Web 3D Service is a portrayal service for three-dimensional geodata, delivering graphical elements from a given geographical area. In contrast to the OGC Web Mapping service (WMS) and the OGC Web terrain service (WTS) 3D scene graphs are produced. These scene graphs will be rendered by the client and can interactively be explored by the user. The W3DS merges different types (layers) of 3D data in one scene graph. |
| Image CRSs for IH4DS | 0.1.0 | 05-014 | Arliss Whiteside | 2005-01-31 |
| This Discussion Paper specifies image coordinate reference system (CRS) definitions designed for possible use by WCTS and WCS servers and clients, initially in the IH4DS thread of the OWS 2 interoperability initiative. This report specifies image CRS definitions suitable for both ungeorectified and georectified images, where an ungeorectified image can be georeferenced or not. |
| Imagery Metadata | 1.0 | 05-015 | Barry Schlesinger | 2005-01-27 |
| Special XML schemas have been created for individual data sets, based on ISO 19115 and a general schema for the RSE. However, a generalized metadata XML schema should be available where possible; it should not be necessary to create special schemas for each data set. ISO 19139 can serve as such a general XML implementation specification for 19115. This implementation needs to be tested in practice. In addition, the new ISO standards are incorporating much, if not all, of the metadata not in 19115 that the RSE contain. XML schemas for these metadata need to be developed that are based upon the abstract model in the ISO standards. All of these implementations need to be tested in practice. This Report describes such tests and the results. It also describes to what extent metadata on which the test metadata are based are supported by 19139, to what extent they are supported by metadata specified in the new ISO standards or the RSE, and to what extent new metadata elements are needed. |
| Some image geometry models | 1 | 04-071 | Arliss Whiteside | 2004-10-04 |
| This discussion paper contains the material that is still relevant from Section 6 (or Appendix A) of the previous version 4 (document OGC 99-107) of OGC Abstract Specification Topic 7, titled "The Earth Imagery Case". That version of Topic 7 has now been superseded by a new version with the same title. In addition, some terminology has been revised to be consistent with the terminology now used in Topic 16: Image Coordinate Transformation Services. Specifically, the previous term "real-time image geometry model" has been changed to "approximate image geometry model". Also, the previous name "Universal Real-Time Image Geometry Model" has been changed to "Universal Image Geometry Model". |
| OWS1.2 Image Handling Requirements | 0.1.4 | 04-052 | Arliss Whiteside | 2004-09-26 |
| This document was developed as part of the Image Handling Thread of the OGC Web Services Initiative Phase 1 Thread Set 2 (OWS 1.2). This document specified the requirements for the image handling functions to be supported by draft specifications prepared under that thread. |
| OWS1.2 Image Handling Design | 0.5 | 04-051 | George Percivall | 2004-09-26 |
| Image Handling is a thread in the OGC Web Services 1.2 (OWS1.2). This document defines the system design for Image Handling in OWS1.2. The system design responds to the requirements in OWS 1.2 Image Handling Requirements. The system design specifies two main services: Image Archive Service and Image Catalogue Service. Interfaces for these two services are defined using previously defined OWS service interfaces. |
| Geospatial Portal Reference Architecture | 0.2 | 04-039 | Louis Rose | 2004-09-22 |

We offer this document as a resource for rapid development and informed acquisition of portals and portal-exploiting applications that can plug and play with geospatial data and services in your organization and other organizations in your community and around the world. |
| Geolinking Service | 0.9.1 | 04-011r1 | Peter Schut | 2004-05-04 |
| A Geolinking Service takes attribute data which refers to spatial features, and joins it to a geospatial dataset, so that it can be mapped by a WMS or used in a GIS. When a Geolinking Service uses data from a GDAS, and serves as a front end to a WMS, it enables real-time mapping of data stored in non-spatial databases. |
| Geolinked Data Access Service | 0.9.1 | 04-010r1 | Peter Schut | 2004-05-04 |
| A Geolinked Data Access Service (GDAS) provides a way to publish and access data that refers to spatial features (e.g. population data for countries). A GDAS can expose data from non-GIS databases so that it can be manipulated and mapped with the aid of a Geolinking Service. |
| OWS Messaging Framework | 0.0.3 | 03-029 | Stephane Fellah, Steven Keens | 2003-01-20 |
| This document defines a messaging framework to conduct communications between the OGC web services. It is independent of any transport protocol and any messaging encoding. By using the framework, the service designer could focus only on the message definitions and messaging flows for every action supported by the service, without worry on the messaging transport and delivery. The framework should considerably simplify the implementations of the OGC web services and should enable service chaining. |
| Integrated Client for Multiple OGC-compliant Services | 0.1.18 | 03-021 | Jeff Yutzler | 2003-01-20 |

| Web Services Architecture | 0.3 | 03-025 | Josh Lieberman | 2003-01-18 |
| Specifies and discusses a common architectural framework for OGC Web Services |
| Service Information Model | 0.3.0 | 03-026 | Joshua Lieberman | 2003-01-17 |
| SIM specifies and discusses a common information model for OGC Web Services, also known variously or in part as service capabilities or service metadata. |
| OGC Web Services UDDI Experiment | 0.5 | 03-028 | Josh Lieberman, Lou Reich, Peter Vretanos | 2003-01-17 |
| This document lists the design principles, requirements, and experimental results for future versions of a potential OGC - UDDI (Universal Discovery, Description, and Integration) profile of the OGC Catalog Implementation Specification. Specifically, it describes the usage scenarios, workplan, and experimental results for discovery of OGC services (including registries) through the UDDI interface using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messaging protocols. The baseline for this experiment is the specification for UDDI version 2 and use of private UDDI implementations. |
| Web Object Service Implementation Specification | 0.0.3 | 03-013 | Panagiotis (Peter) A. Vretanos | 2003-01-15 |
| There is a requirement to manage many different types of objects. These include styles, symbols and images. To satisfy this requirement, a repository interface is required. The intent of the Web Object Service interface is to provide a means to define this interface. |
| OGC Web Services SOAP Experiment Report | 0.8 | 03-014 | J | 2003-01-15 |
| This document will discuss how OWS services can be ported to Web Services and highlight various issues/problems that have been discovered and need further discussion. |
| Web Pricing and Ordering | 0.2 | 02-039r1 | Roland Wagner | 2002-10-18 |
| This specification covers all standard geo-eBusiness processes like pricing, ordering and online delivery for spatial products. |
| WMS Part 2: XML for Requests using HTTP Post | 0.0.3 | 02-017r1 | Jeff de La Beaujardiere | 2002-08-24 |
| This part of the Web Map Service (WMS) specification applies to those clients and servers which allow operation request encodings that are more complex than those permitted by the basic keyword/value encoding defined in WMS Part 1 [17]. Part 2 only describes the encoding of the request messages using Extensible Markup Language (XML); all other aspects of the Web Map Service are fully defined in Part 1. |
| Web Terrain Server | 0.3.2 | 01-061 | Raj Singh | 2001-08-24 |
| The purpose of theWeb Terrain Server (WTS) is to produce perspective views of georeferenced data - typically 3-dimensional coverages. |
| XML for Image and map Annotation | 0.4 | 01-019 | John Evans | 2001-02-06 |
