This talk addresses some common challenges users face, when consuming data from OGC API. It will map these issues to best practices, offering pointers for data consumers to improve their workflow and providing publishers with answers to common user complaints about the standard or its implementation.
The number of servers publishing data as OGC API has been increasing and that means that more users are looking to consume these data and integrate them into their workflows. This is really good news; however, in order to enable an efficient use of resources and a good user experience, there are some questions we should ask before starting to access the data.
In this talk we will share some of the challenges we saw users faced, and map them to best practices of the use of the Standard or the technology. If you are a user, maybe you can find some pointers here to make your OGC API access journey more enjoyable. If you are a publisher, maybe you can find some answers to give to your users, when they complain about the Standard, the implementation or the deployment.
