OGC APIs are a family of modern standards, which bring interoperability to anyone who wants to share geospatial data, using mainstream web technologies (e.g: REST, JSON, HTML). Some of these APIs come to replace and extend the legacy OGC Web Services (OWS), like WFS or WMS.
In this talk, we’ll highlight the state of OGC APIs and their current roadmap. We’ll also look at the adoption of these APIs within OSGeo projects and discuss compliance and certification. Finally, we will point out some resources, available to anyone who wants to develop and validate OGC API implementations.
Joana is a software engineer with more than fifteen years experience and a strong expertise in the field of geospatial tech and analytics.
After acquiring a PhD in GIS, at UCL, her drive to solve real-world problems has led her to SMEs, an international organisation, a research foundation and a start-up. Joana has been very involved with FOSS, in particular in what concerns geospatial. This has led her to become a charter member of OSGeo. Joana is the founder of ByteRoad, a SME in the field of data engineering and geospatial analytics. She is also a reviewer for the European Commission, and has been involved in education, teaching the next generation of full-stack developers and data analysts. As Developer Relations at OGC, Joana is responsible for connecting the OGC standards with the wider developer community, hopefully increasing their adoption and contributing towards making them more developer-friendly.
