Welcome to the Vocabulary web

Overview

This site is to help facilitate collaboration on the development and consensus agreement on certain key terms used extensively in the OGC. This sub-group activity of the OGC was agreed to at the Athens 2009 Technical Committee meeting.

Goal

The idea is to condense the definition of a dozen core terms used in recent discussions into one that all can agree upon. Terms might include:

• Service
• Resource
• Web
• RPC
• KVP
• Request
• ''add your favorite''
