 Based on research and testing, the Pub/Sub White Paper recommended the use of AsyncAPI. AsyncAPI provides an event-driven equivalent of what is provided by OpenAPI for OGC API Standards (description of protocols, channels, parameters, models, etc.). An implementation of the https://ogcapi.ogc.org/common/overview.html[OGC API landing page requirements class] can provide a link to an AsyncAPI document as follows:
