Geographic information - Geospatial API for features - Part 2: Coordinate Reference Systems by Reference (ISO 19168-2:2022)

This document specifies an extension to the Geospatial API for Features — Part 1: Core standard that
defines the behaviour of a server that supports the ability to present geometry valued properties in a
response document in one from a list of supported Coordinates Reference Systems (CRS).
Each supported CRS is specified by reference using a uniform resource identifier (URI).
This document specifies:
— how, for each offered feature collection, a server advertises the list of supported CRS identifiers;
— how the coordinates of geometry valued feature properties can be accessed in one of the supported
CRSs;
— how features can be accessed from the server using a bounding box specified in one of the supported
CRSs; and
— how a server can declare the CRS used to present feature resources.

Information géographique - API géospatiale pour les entités - Partie 2: Systèmes de coordonnées de référence par référence (ISO 19168-2:2022)

Le présent document spécifie une extension à la norme «API géospatiale pour les entités — Partie 1: Profil minimal» qui définit le comportement d'un serveur qui est en capacité de présenter des propriétés associées à une valeur géométrique dans un document de réponse dans une liste de Systèmes de coordonnées de référence (CRS) pris en charge.
Chaque CRS pris en charge est spécifié par référence à l'aide d'un identifiant de ressource universel (URI).
Le présent document spécifie:
—    comment, pour chaque collection d'entités proposée, un serveur publie la liste des identifiants de CRS pris en charge;
—    comment les coordonnées des propriétés d'entités associées à une valeur géométrique peuvent être accessibles dans l'un des CRS pris en charge;
—    comment les entités peuvent être accessibles depuis le serveur à l'aide d'un rectangle englobant spécifié dans l'un des CRS pris en charge; et
—    comment un serveur peut déclarer le système de CRS utilisé pour présenter des ressources d'entités.

ISO 19168-2:2022(E)
Introduction
OGC API standards define modular API building blocks to spatially enable Web APIs in a consistent way.
The OpenAPI specification is used to define the API building blocks.
The OGC API family of standards is organized by resource type. This document extends the fundamental
API building blocks for interacting with features. The spatial data community uses the term 'feature'
for things in the real world that are of interest.
For those not familiar with the term 'feature,' the explanations on Spatial Things, Features and
[6]
Geometry in the W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Best Practice document provide more detail.
OGC API Features provides API building blocks to create, modify and query features on the Web. OGC
API Features is comprised of multiple parts, each of them is a separate standard. This document extends
the core capabilities specified in OGC API — Features — Part 1: Core (ISO 19168-1) with the ability to
use coordinate reference system identifiers other than the defaults defined in the core.
By default, every API implementing this document will provide access to a single dataset. Rather than
sharing the data as a complete dataset, the OGC API Features standards offer direct, fine-grained access
to the data at the feature (object) level.
The API building blocks specified in this document are consistent with the architecture of the Web.
In particular, the API design is guided by the IETF HTTP/HTTPS RFCs, the W3C Data on the Web
Best Practices, the W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices and the emerging OGC Web API
Guidelines. A particular example is the use of the concepts of datasets and dataset distributions as
defined in DCAT and used in schema.org.
A subset of the OGC API family of standards is expected to be published by ISO. For example, this
document is published by ISO as ISO 19168-2. To reflect that only a subset of the OGC API standards
will be published by ISO and to avoid using organization names in the titles of ISO standards, standards
from the "OGC API" series are published by ISO as "Geospatial API," i.e. the title of this document in OGC
is "OGC API — Features — Part 2: Coordinate Reference Systems by Reference" and the title in ISO is
"Geographic Information — Geospatial API for Features — Part 2: Coordinate Reference Systems by
Reference."
For simplicity, this document consistently uses:
— "OGC API" to refer to the family of standards for geospatial Web APIs that in ISO is published as
"Geospatial API;"
— "OGC API — Features" to refer to the multipart standard for features that in ISO is published as
ISO 19168 / "Geographic Information - Geospatial API for Features;"
— "OGC API — Features — Part 1: Core" to refer to the document that in ISO is published as ISO 19168-1
/ "Geographic Information - Geospatial API for Features - Part 1: Core."

Geographic information – Geospatial API for features —
Part 2:
Coordinate Reference Systems by Reference
1 Scope
This document specifies an extension to the Geospatial API for Features — Part 1: Core standard that
defines the behaviour of a server that supports the ability to present geometry valued properties in a
response document in one from a list of supported Coordinates Reference Systems (CRS).
Each supported CRS is specified by reference using a uniform resource identifier (URI).
This document specifies:
— how, for each offered feature collection, a server advertises the list of supported CRS identifiers;
— how the coordinates of geometry valued feature properties can be accessed in one of the supported
CRSs;
— how features can be accessed from the server using a bounding box specified in one of the supported
CRSs; and
— how a server can declare the CRS used to present feature resources.

6 Requirements Class Coordinate Reference Systems by Reference
6.1 Overview
Requirements Class
http:// www .opengis .net/ spec/ ogcapi -features -2/ 1 .0/ req/ crs
Target type Web API
Dependency OGC API - Features - Part 1: Core, Requirements Class 'core'
The OGC API — Features — Part 1: Core standard defines support for only two coordinate reference
systems:
— WGS 84 longitude, latitude;
— WGS 84 longitude, latitude, ellipsoidal height.
This extension defines the behaviour of a server that supports additional coordinate reference systems.
Requirement 1 /req/crs/crs-uri
Each CRS supported by a server shall be referenceable by a uniform resource identifier (i.e. a URI).

Recommendation 1 /rec/crs/crs-format-model
Servers that implement this extension should be able to recognize and generate CRS identifiers with the following
format model:
http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/authority/version/code
In this format model, the token {authority} is a placeholder for a value that designates to authority responsible
for the definition of this CRS. Typical values include "EPSG" and "OGC".
The token {version} is a placeholder for the specific version of the CRS definition or 0 for un-versioned CRS
definitions.
The token {code} is a placeholder for the authority’s code for the CRS.
For more information, see 6.2 in OGC Name Type Specification, Part 1.
Note that while the EPSG register itself is versioned, the registered items are not versioned and the
"version" is always "0" in URIs of the authority "EPSG".
6.2 Discovery
6.2.1 CRS identifier list
Requirement 2 /req/crs/fc-md-crs-list
A The crs property in the collection object of a spatial feature collection shall contain the
identifiers for the list of CRSs supported by the server for that collection.
B This list shall include the default(s) defined in OGC API - Features - Part 1: Core.
The list has to include the default CRS — that is the CRS used unless something else is explicitly
requested — is defined in ISO 19168-1, Geographic information — Geospatial API for features — Part 1:
Core as:
— http:// www .opengis .net/ def/ crs/ OGC/ 1 .3/ CRS84 (for coordinates without height);
— http:// www .opengis .net/ def/ crs/ OGC/ 0/ CRS84h (for coordinates with ellipsoidal height).

ISO 19168-2:2022(E)
6.2.2 Storage CRS
The storage CRS for a spatial feature collection is the CRS identifier that may be used to retrieve
features from that collection without the need to apply a CRS transformation.
Note that coordinates referenced to a dynamic coordinate reference system are ambiguous if the
coordinate epoch is unknown. It is therefore recommended to also provide the coordinate epoch when
the storage CRS is dynamic, such as an ITRF realization or WGS 84. For more information on dynamic
coordinate reference systems and coordinate epoch, please see ISO 19111, Geographic information —
Referencing by coordinates (same as OGC Abstract Specification Topic 2: Referencing by coordinates).
Requirement 3 /req/crs/fc-md-storageCrs
If all features in a spatial feature collection are stored using a particular CRS then the proper-
ty storageCrs shall be specified in the collection object of the spatial feature collection to indicate the identifi-
er for this storage CRS.

Recommendation 2 /rec/crs/fc-md-coordinateEpoch
If the storage CRS of the spatial feature collection is a dynamic coordinate reference system, the proper-
ty storageCrsCoordinateEpoch in the collection object of the spatial feature collection should provide the
coordinate epoch of the coordinates.
This document does not provide a mechanism to associate different coordinate epochs with feature
geometries in a collection. If data with different coordinate epochs is merged in a collection, one option
is to perform point motion operations (PMO) to convert all geometries to the same coordinate epoch.
See ISO 19111, Geographic information — Referencing by coordinates (same as OGC Abstract Specification
Topic 2: Referencing by coordinates), for more information.
Requirement 4 /req/crs/fc-md-storageCrs-valid-value
The value of the storageCrs property shall be one of the CRS identifiers from the list of supported CRS identi-
fiers found in the collection object using the crs property.
The following schema fragment extends the collection object to add the storageCrs and
storageCrsCoordinateEpoch properties.

year in the Gregorian calendar
   type: number
   example: '2017-03-25 in the Gregorian calendar is epoch 2017.23'
6.2.3 Global list of CRS identifiers
To prevent unnecessary duplication of lists of supported CRS identifiers in the collection object, a global
list of supported CRS identifiers may be provided as part of the collections object.
This global list of CRS identifiers is not automatically inherited by each collection offered by the service.
Rather the global list of CRS identifiers must be explicitly referenced in the crs property of the collection
object using a JSON Pointer (RFC 6901).
Requirement 5 /req/crs/fc-md-crs-list-global
If the crs property in the collection object of a spatial feature collection includes a JSON Pointer to the global
list of CRS identifiers (#/crs), then all CRS identifiers in the global list shall be valid for the referencing collec-
tion.
Note that only a local JSON Pointer within the same document is supported.
The following schema fragment extends the collections object to add the crs property which contains
the global list of CRS identifiers.

Introduction
OGC API standards define modular API building blocks to spatially enable Web APIs in a consistent way.
The OpenAPI specification is used to define the API building blocks.
The OGC API family of standards is organized by resource type. This document extends the fundamental
API building blocks for interacting with features. The spatial data community uses the term 'feature'
for things in the real world that are of interest.
For those not familiar with the term 'feature,' the explanations on Spatial Things, Features and
Geometry in the W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Best Practice document provide more detail.
OGC API Features provides API building blocks to create, modify and query features on the Web. OGC
API Features is comprised of multiple parts, each of them is a separate standard. This part extends
the core capabilities specified in OGC API - Features - Part 1: Core with the ability to use coordinate
reference system identifiers other than the defaults defined in the core.
By default, every API implementing this document will provide access to a single dataset. Rather than
sharing the data as a complete dataset, the OGC API Features standards offer direct, fine-grained access
to the data at the feature (object) level.
The API building blocks specified in this document are consistent with the architecture of the Web.
In particular, the API design is guided by the IETF HTTP/HTTPS RFCs, the W3C Data on the Web
Best Practices, the W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices and the emerging OGC Web API
Guidelines. A particular example is the use of the concepts of datasets and dataset distributions as
defined in DCAT and used in schema.org.
A subset of the OGC API family of standards is expected to be published by ISO. For example, this
document is published by ISO as ISO 19168-2. To reflect that only a subset of the OGC API standards
will be published by ISO and to avoid using organization names in the titles of ISO standards, standards
from the "OGC API" series are published by ISO as "Geospatial API," i.e., the title of this document in
OGC is "OGC API - Features - Part 2: Coordinate Reference Systems by Reference" and the title in ISO
is "Geographic Information - Geospatial API for Features - Part 2: Coordinate Reference Systems by
Reference."
For simplicity, this document consistently uses:
— "OGC API" to refer to the family of standards for geospatial Web APIs that in ISO is published as
"Geospatial API;"
— "OGC API - Features" to refer to the multipart standard for features that in ISO is published as
ISO 19168 / "Geographic Information - Geospatial API for Features;"
— "OGC API - Features - Part 1: Core" to refer to the document that in ISO is published as ISO 19168-1
/ "Geographic Information - Geospatial API for Features - Part 1: Core."

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 19168-2:2021(E)
Geographic information – Geospatial API for features —
Part 2:
Coordinate Reference Systems by Reference
1 Scope
This document specifies an extension to the Geospatial API for Features — Part 1: Core standard that
defines the behavior of a server that supports the ability to present geometry valued properties in a
response document in one from a list of supported Coordinates Reference Systems (CRS).
Each supported CRS is specified by reference using a uniform resource identifier (URI).
This document specifies:
— How, for each offered feature collection, a server advertises the list of supported CRS identifiers;
— How the coordinates of geometry valued feature properties can be accessed in one of the supported
CRSs;
— How features can be accessed from the server using a bounding box specified in one of the supported
CRSs; and
— How a server can declare the coordinate reference system used to present feature resources.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

The OGC API - Features - Part 1: Core standard defines support for only two coordinate reference
systems:
— WGS 84 longitude, latitude;
— WGS 84 longitude, latitude, ellipsoidal height.
This extension defines the behavior of a server that supports additional coordinate reference systems.
Requirement 1 /req/crs/crs-uri
Each CRS supported by a server SHALL be referenceable by a uniform resource identifier (i.e., a URI).

Recommendation 1 /rec/crs/crs-format-model
Servers that implement this extension SHOULD be able to recognize and generate CRS identifiers with the
following format model:
http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/authority/version/code
In this format model, the token {authority} is a placeholder for a value that designates to authority responsi-
ble for the definition of this CRS. Typical values include "EPSG" and "OGC".
The token {version} is a placeholder for the specific version of the CRS definition or 0 for un-versioned CRS
definitions.
The token {code} is a placeholder for the authority’s code for the CRS.
For more information, see section 6.2 in OGC Name Type Specification, Part 1.
Note that while the EPSG register itself is versioned, the registered items are not versioned and the
"version" is always "0" in URIs of the authority "EPSG".
6.2 Discovery
6.2.1 CRS identifier list
Requirement 2 /req/crs/fc-md-crs-list
A The crs property in the collection object of a spatial feature collection SHALL contain the
identifiers for the list of CRSs supported by the server for that collection.
B This list SHALL include the default(s) defined in OGC API - Features - Part 1: Core.
The list has to include the default CRS — that is the CRS used unless something else is explicitly
requested — is defined in ISO 19168-1:2020, Geographic information — Geospatial API for features —
Part 1: Core as:
— http:// www .opengis .net/ def/ crs/ OGC/ 1 .3/ CRS84 (for coordinates without height);
— http:// www .opengis .net/ def/ crs/ OGC/ 0/ CRS84h (for coordinates with ellipsoidal height).
6.2.2 Storage CRS
The storage CRS for a spatial feature collection is the CRS identifier that may be used to retrieve
features from that collection without the need to apply a CRS transformation.
Note that coordinates referenced to a dynamic coordinate reference system are ambiguous if the
coordinate epoch is unknown. It is therefore recommended to also provide the coordinate epoch when
the storage CRS is dynamic, such as an ITRF realization or WGS 84. For more information on dynamic

coordinate reference systems and coordinate epoch, please see ISO 19111:2019 Geographic information
- Referencing by coordinates (same as OGC Abstract Specification Topic 2: Referencing by coordinates).
Requirement 3 /req/crs/fc-md-storageCrs
If all features in a spatial feature collection are stored using a particular CRS then the proper-
ty storageCrs SHALL be specified in the collection object of the spatial feature collection to indicate the
identifier for this storage CRS.

Recommendation 2 /rec/crs/fc-md-coordinateEpoch
If the storage CRS of the spatial feature collection is a dynamic coordinate reference system, the proper-
ty storageCrsCoordinateEpoch in the collection object of the spatial feature collection SHOULD provide the
coordinate epoch of the coordinates.
This document does not provide a mechanism to associate different coordinate epochs with feature
geometries in a collection. If data with different coordinate epochs is merged in a collection, one option
is to perform point motion operations (PMO) to convert all geometries to the same coordinate epoch.
See ISO 19111:2019 Geographic information - Referencing by coordinates (same as OGC Abstract
Specification Topic 2: Referencing by coordinates) for more information.
Requirement 4 /req/crs/fc-md-storageCrs-valid-value
The value of the storageCrs property SHALL be one of the CRS identifiers from the list of supported CRS iden-
tifiers found in the collection object using the crs property.
The following schema fragment extends the collection object to add the storageCrs and
storageCrsCoordinateEpoch properties.

   example: '2017-03-25 in the Gregorian calendar is epoch 2017.23'
6.2.3 Global list of CRS identifiers
To prevent unnecessary duplication of lists of supported CRS identifiers in the collection object, a global
list of supported CRS identifiers may be provided as part of the collections object.
This global list of CRS identifiers is not automatically inherited by each collection offered by the service.
Rather the global list of CRS identifiers must be explicitly referenced in the crs property of the collection
object using a JSON Pointer (RFC 6901).
Requirement 5 /req/crs/fc-md-crs-list-global
If the crs property in the collection object of a spatial feature collection includes a JSON Pointer to the global
list of CRS identifiers (#/crs), then all CRS identifiers in the global list SHALL be valid for the referencing
collection.
Note that only a local JSON Pointer within the same document is supported.
The following schema fragment extends the collections object to add the crs property which contains
the global list of CRS identifiers.
