Wayland, Mass., 1 April, 2010 - The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.
(OGC®) seeks public comment on the candidate OGC GeoAPI 3.0
Application Programming Interface.

The GeoAPI standard provides a set of Java language interfaces based
on the ISO 19100 series of geospatial abstract models for metadata and
feature geometry as well as two OGC Abstract Specifications for
metadata and coordinate reference systems. In addition to producing
this set of Java language interfaces, the OGC GeoAPI 3.0 Standards
Working Group is producing a test suite through which developers
implementing the Java interfaces can test their implementations.

The GeoAPI project emerges from the earlier OGC Geographic Objects
effort and is the result of the collaboration of participants from
various institutions and software communities. The GeoAPI project's
goal is to provide a set of interfaces in the Java language to help
software projects produce high quality geospatial software. This work
is not expected to cover all OGC standards.

The candidate OGC GeoAPI 3.0 Interface Standard and information on
submitting comments on this document are available at
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/66. The public
comment period closes on 1 May 2010.

The OGC is an international consortium of more than 390 companies,
government agencies, research organizations, and universities
participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available
geospatial standards. OGC Standards support interoperable solutions
that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and
mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make
geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any
application that needs to be geospatially enabled. Visit the OGC
website at http://www.opengeospatial.org .
