WCS 2.0 Standard via Slashgeo.org by Alex on 11/16/10

Via internal email, I learned that the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
announced the Web Coverage Service (WCS) 2.0 standard.

What's new for the WCS 2.0 version, from their press release: "The WCS
2.0 standard has several significant enhancements over previous
versions. WCS 2.0 is harmonized with the Geography Markup Language
(GML) coverage model, leading to increased interoperability across OGC
standards. Further, WCS 2.0 supports all GML and ISO coverage types,
therefore extending WCS from pure raster data to point clouds,
curvilinear grids, general meshes, and more coverage types.
Additionally, WCS 2.0 is highly modular and follows the OGC's new
Modular Specification Policy, which describes a design pattern that
makes standards easier to understand and implement."
