This page is for summarizing the discussion on the different versions of the OGC WCS protocol. See also the discussion for this page.
WCS 1.0
WCS 1.1.2
WCS 2.0
Background: According to OGC, "This version 2.0 of the Web Coverage Service (WCS) Interface Standard improves (but does not supersede) previous version 1.1.2 [1]. Technical changes from WCS version 1.1.2 include building on the GML 3.2 encoding of coverages, and dividing the standard into this core plus multiple extensions."
Ben Dominico points out that the core specification has been officially adopted by the OGC , so it is no longer in draft form. On the other hand, this does not mean that the specification is complete because the OGC now uses a core and extensions approach to standards, so there are many extensions underway -- including encoding formats. The situation is similar for netCDF. The core specification has been adopted by the OGC along with one for the netCDF classic encoding. Work is underway on a CF conventions extension to the netCDF core as well as an extension to the WCS 2.0 for the CF-netCDF encoding. The next version of the WCS data access protocol has been in preparation for some time.
WCS 2.0 features relevant to AQ: The key features of WCS 2.0 are here...add here Weni' PPT.
AQ CoP Assessment: Here we could say stuff like ... Some use 1.0. The Community WCS server uses 1.1.2. Will monitor 2.0 and prepare for it .....Text to be formulated at the workshop?1
