Policy Guidance from Architecture DWG Services Ad-hoc
The following motion is the result of multiple meetings and discussions that have occurred over the last 4 months. The recommendation is to state that the OGC recognizes that there are multiple patterns and architecture styles and that OGC standards need to be developed and/or evolve to accommodate multiple styles and patterns.
- The TC recommends that the OGC promote development of service oriented architecture standards using platform-independent abstract specifications and platform-dependent implementation specifications for all OGC service standards that support both procedure-oriented and resource-oriented service styles or patterns
- Discussion: If this guidance eventually is adopted in some form as OGC Policy, the requirement can be dropped for service standards for which multiple bindings or patterns are not appropriate.
- There was no objection to unanimous consent
