.

*Summary:* This presentation will describe an emerging suite of Web
Application Programming Interface (API) standards by the Open Geospatial
Consortium (OGC). The OGC API standards define modular API building blocks
to spatially enable Web APIs in a consistent way [1]
<https://ogcapi.ogc.org/>. The standards make use of the OpenAPI
specification for defining API building blocks that describe consistent
behavior for accessing resources such as vector feature data, coverage
data, metadata records, tiled data, tiled maps, and geospatial processes.
The presentation will introduce the standards and also cover the utility of
the standards in supporting Earth Science. Examples from several recent and
current projects will be shown to demonstrate how Earth Scientists can make
use of the standards.

*About the Presenter:* Dr. Gobe Hobona is the OGC's Director of Product
Management, Standards. In this role he manages coordination between
Standards Working Groups (SWGs) and set priorities for standards
development (in cooperation with SWG chairs). He also provides oversight of
OGC Application Programming Interface (API) evolution and harmonization
activities. He holds a PhD in Geomatics from Newcastle University. He also
holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Geographic Information Science
from Newcastle University. He is a professional member of both the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Association for Computing
