Geographic information - Geospatial API for features - Part 1: Core (ISO 19168-1:2025)
This document specifies the behaviour of Web APIs that provide access to features in a dataset independently of the underlying data store. This document defines discovery and query operations.
Discovery operations enable clients to interrogate the API, including the API definition and metadata about the feature collections provided by the API, to determine the capabilities of the API and retrieve information about available distributions of the dataset.
Query operations enable clients to retrieve features from the underlying data store based upon simple selection criteria, defined by the client.

Information géographique - API géospatiale pour les entités - Partie 1: Profil minimal (ISO 19168-1:2025)
Le présent document spécifie le comportement des API Web donnant accès aux entités d’un jeu de données indépendamment du système sous-jacent de stockage de données. Le présent document définit les opérations de découverte et d’interrogation.
Les opérations de découverte permettent aux clients d’interroger l’API, y compris la définition et les métadonnées de l’API concernant les collections d’entités fournies par l’API, pour déterminer les capacités de l’API et extraire des informations relatives aux distributions disponibles de jeux de données.
Les opérations d’interrogation permettent aux clients d’extraire des entités du système sous-jacent de stockage de données sur la base de critères de sélection simples définis par le client.
