CoverageJSON Community Meeting, 2025-05-08, Wednesday, 10:00 UTC (04:00 MST, 06:00 EST, 11:00 BST 12:00 CET, 18:00 CST, 20:00 AEST)

Attendees:

• Chris Little, Met Office
• Matthew McCormack, NOC
• Katharina Schleidt
• Mark Burgoyne, Met Office
• Adam Warde, ECMWF

Agenda: no formal agenda. Everyone introduced themselves and their interests in CoverageJSON and other OGC standards

Kathi and Chris agreed that supporting an OMS/ISO19156 namespace would allow extra attributes to be incorporated cleanly, without altering the standard. This would benefit the TSML, Connected Systems and API-EDR standards at least.

ACTION: Chris will pursue with Gobe Hobona of OGC.

Kathi suggested that this was a community group, so could plan the evolution of CoverageJSON to present to OGC, as COverageJSON is a Community Standard. This approach would avoid possible internal wranglings in OGC Working Groups.

Paul Hershberg (Chair of TSML SWG) had raised the issue of using time CRS as opposed to using date-time stamps.It was not clear whther this could be done within the scope of CoverageJSON V1.0 standard. Chris was pursuing (admittedly not at high priority) of registering extra temporal CRSs with OGC which may help.

Any Other Business: None

Date of Next Meeting: 4 June 2025, 10:00 UTC (11:00 BST, 12:00 CEST, 06:00 EST)

Date of Next Meeting: Wednesday mornings (UK), early in the month.
