OGC API - Moving Features

OGC API standards define modular API building blocks to spatially enable Web APIs in a consistent way. OpenAPI is used to define the reusable API building blocks with responses in JSON and HTML.

The OGC API family of standards is organized by resource type. The draft OGC API – Moving Features standard describes an API that provides access to representations of Moving Features that conform to the OGC Moving Features JSON encoding standard. The draft standard also provides access to functionality comparable to that of the OGC Moving Features Access standard.

Overview of OGC API - Moving Features

The OGC API - Moving Features draft standard is an extension of the OGC API - Common and the OGC API - Features standards.
