Host data sets as service

[sebastianfrey]

Any plans to host those data sets as service?

Hi @sebastianfrey,
yes, we are currently working with some national and international data providers / services to make the datasets available via (probably) API and WMS. I'll post any updates regarding the releases here.

Cool. Can you clarify what you mean by API? OGC API Features or something different?

[maja601]

Haven't quite made my mind up on that, but I'll happily take suggestions into account 😄

Got it, how you meant the term API.

Well, I think OGC API Features seems here like a good starting point, since it is the next big OGC standard for serving vector data over a simple and easy to use RESTful API. Alternatives that come to mind are WFS or ArcGIS, the former being legacy and the latter proprietary.

Thank you!! Yes, that is definitely the type of input I was hoping for. I'll let you know how we proceed!
