United States Ogc Tender

Vector Tiles are an efficient way to package geographic data into roughly-square shaped tiles with many benefits including fast loading and flexible styling.The Open Geospatial Consortium OGC is excited to announce that the Engineering Reports and demonstration documenting the outcomes and achievements of its Vector Tiles Pilot have been published and are freely available.The Vector Tiles Pilot ran from July 2018 to February 2019 and aimed to advance an OGC approach to encode and publish Vector Tiles based on industry best practices as well as propose extensions for existing OGC standards and emerging OGC APIs. The Pilot demonstrated Vector Tiles as an efficient way to package geographic data into roughly-square shaped tiles with the following benefits faster loading of web maps flexible styling with modern easy-to-use tools the capability to work online and offline with the same content and the potential to simplify interoperability for command and control consumer mapping disaster relief and many other applications.In all there are 6 Engineering Reports documenting the various outcomes of the Vector Tiles Pilot Summary Engineering ReportGeoPackage 1.2 Vector Tiles Extensions Engineering ReportTiled Feature Data Conceptual Model Engineering ReportWMTS Vector Tiles Extension Engineering ReportWFS 3.0 Vector Tiles Extension Engineering ReportVector Tiles Extension Engineering Report focused on Styling.
