Re: Issue 27: correction of the description of the Coverage in Linked Data deliverable

Frans-

yes, you are exactly right.
Phrasing proposal:
"ISO 19123 defines an abstract coverage model whose implementations are not
guaranteed to be interoperable (actually, various implementations expressly
based on ISO 19213 exist which in fact are not interoperable, as has been shown
by OGC surveys). OGC's Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS, formerly GML 3.2.1
Application Schema - Coverages, GMLCOV) is interoperable indeed, and maps to
standard formats, such as GML, GeoTIFF, and NetCDF. CIS 1.1 is planned by ISO
TC211 to become ISO 19123-2, as the concrete counterpart to abstract 19123,
which will be renamed to 19123-1 (resolved by TC211 WG 6 in June 2015).
Therefore, the coverage schema adopted by SWD WG should be compatible with
forthcoming ISO 19123-2 aka OGC CIS 1.1."

HTH,
Peter
