Good, three is already a group! The strategy will be to define the data model and the templates while in parallel requiring formal endorsement from OSGeo. A project like this can only succeed if backed by the foundation. Please send me your GitHub handles. I would also ask you to link to your

Hi All, As Jon pointed out, this work is being discussed in the joint OGC/W3C Spatial Data on the Web Working Group. Also, Jon will be presenting the work formally to the OGC membership at our Opening Plenary next month. I encourage interested parties to attend in person (Orlando, FL USA) or re

Hi, should there not be a decision by OSGeo to promote a database before we start to collect data in github? Best regards, Manfred -Original Message- From: "Luí­s de Sousa" Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2016 5:34am To: "Julien Moquet" Cc: "manf...@egger-gis.at" , discuss@lists.osgeo.org

Hi Jachym,   That’s good to know, thanks. We’ve done all our development on GitHub so far and communicated via issues and wikis there. It could be a good idea to move discussions somewhere like OSGeo in future, but for now I’d like to encourage anyone who is interested to join us on Git

Hi, afaik, we as OSGeo, do not have formal procedure regarding standards, we offer some infrastructure (wiki, mailing list, maybe gitlab) and you can just "call for action" - you can then collaborate like any other project. It is very simple and gives you big freedom. That does not exclude you fro

Hi Jon, In the longer term, I think that you will have more take-up if this is a joint OGC/ W3C standard. While you go through this process there is the opportunity for refining the format through practical implementations. Bruce > On 30 Aug 2016, at 19:29, Jon Blower wrote: > > Dear Jachym

Hi Julien et al., My experience with Wikis is mostly negative, however, the GitHub "database" could work very well. The project could be hooked up to ReadTheDocs and folk would just commit their .rst and .md files. Preparatory work would go around defining the templates to submit projections, d

Dear Jachym,   We define the MIME type as “application/prs.coverage+json”. See [1] for more information about this and about our concept of “profiles”.   Currently CovJSON is being discussed in the context of the joint OGC/W3C “Spatial Data on the Web” working group, although there is n

Hi, just humble suggestion: you can make this to OSGeo Community standard, like TMS [1] was at it's time and get more publicity and possible more collaborators to the project. Promote and colaborate via standards mailing list [2] btw: what is the mimetype, we shall stick to? (OGC WebProcessingSer
