Incremental improvements

Incremental improvements, such as POST for coordinates, stored queries, etc

OAB asked SWG to review and improve OGC Web API Guidelines

• IETF is setting up HTTP API Building Blocks WG

Ideas from Met Ocean DWG session

• Clarify interactions with rest of APIs

• Best practices for metadata, and STAC intereacting with API - Records

• Inspire tryng to figure out how to assess APIs. Currently looking at API - Features as only published standard

• Use TestBed 16 DAPA Engineering Report for ideas and approaches

Other ideas

• Plume retrieval pattern

This is a corridor that gets wider or narrower along the length of the core trajectory. Probably need to specify a width/depth for each trajectory coordinate.

Use Case 1: Forecast hurricane/typhoon track and impact area.

Use Case 2: Search area for person fallen overboard from a ship.

Use Case 3: Release of a pollutant, whether chemical or radioactive. This case is for a relatively instantaneous release, because continuing, long lasting, releases give very complex patterns that cannot be modelled by a variable width/depth corridor. Could be atmospheric or underwater.
