Description

Part 3 offers a generic way to load from OGC API Collections.

A couple of uncertainties:

  • As far as I can see it doesn't limit the scope. What Collections can it really load from? Is loading from Tiles, Routes, or Styles really meaningful here?
  • Is there any way a Processes API can describe which types of collections it can load from? If the requirement is to support all by default, that's a pretty steep requirement.
  • How to load from other data source? Would a STAC API fall under loading from OGC API Collections? As STAC API is based on Features, would this only load the "Features" (i.e. the STAC metadata)?
  • Is there a way to load from static STAC or static Records catalogs?
  • Is there a way to query for more specific data? Like e.g. a CQL query for a specific property (both GET/Text encoding and POST/JSON encoding)?

Disclaimer: I'm struggline with all these tiny files in the repo so I may just not have found the answers yet.
