OSGeo-Live team,
Our OSGeo-Live documentation overviews is currently more comprehensive
than what you can find here:
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html
(These OGC docs only cover a few standards)
Documentation about OGC standards found in Wikipedia is also more
comprehensive than the OGC docs.
Since our OSGeo-Live standards documentation is not updated or
maintained I think we should drop the OSGeo-Live Project overviews for
OGC standards. I would like to reference OGC documentation, but as yet,
I don't think the OGC documentation breadth is up to a point where it
could be considered production ready, and as such I don't think we
should reference it.
Scott,
If you would like help in authoring such OGC Standards documentation,
then please let me know. Do to the extent of scope required, this would
require funding. This is a task I'd personally like to be involved in.
Warm regards,
Cameron

Hi Cameron,
The documentation will be “living” and subject to intermittent update,
so you can consider the work in the URL provided to be ready for
production, even though it will evolve. We are implementing such
documentation as a permanent and maintained program and will extend
this documentation to other standards (including new standards as they
are published). We do not yet have a timeline for “catch-up” of
existing standards.
Best Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your response and URL. Could you please update us on
current status and schedule for OGC documentation.
* Is the documentation at
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html
considered draft, ready for production, other?
* Is there a maintenance program in place to ensure that this
documentation is continuously kept up to date? Eg: to update existing
documentation whenever a new standard is published.
* It appears that the URL provided only mentions WMS KML, SLD, SE,
CSW standards. Is there any commitment to generate documentation for
other standards?
Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Cameron,
OGC would very much like to be the source of documentation where
possible to keep you from duplicating effort! Perhaps you could link
to our material where it is current and useful (as you referenced in
your mail) and I will be sure to keep you informed as we accelerate
our “implementer-friendly” standards documentation. Examples of such
documentation can be found here:
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html
Where the OSGeo community has developed superior documentation, you
may want to stick with that material until we get our material ready.
Best Regards,
Scott

To date, OSGeo-Live documentation has included write ups of a
number of OGC Standards (including both English master text and
translations). [1]
However, this documentation hasn't been maintained for a number of
years.
As we go through rationalising what we continue to include on
OSGeo-Live, we are wondering what should be done about OGC
standards text on OSGeo-Live.
I'm aware of the OGC has created some material [2], which on first
glance looks to be more complete and more current than the
OSGeo-Live material.
I'm interested to hear thoughts (especially from the OGC) on what
we should do in moving forward.
* Should we drop OSGeo-Live write up of OGC Standards all together,
as it is not core business of OSGeo? (This would free up some space
on OSGeo-Live)
* Should we provide a reference to a OGC Standards URL? If so,
where would that be?
* Should we make a copy OGC standards into OSGeo-Live docs? If so,
who will take responsibility for writing and maintaining the build
scripts.
* Would the OGC want to investigate using OSGeo-Live's existing
translation community to translate OGC docs? If so, how should this
be approached and who would like to coordinate it?
Thoughts will be welcomed.
