This expresses the implementation of the STAC specification and selected extensions as Building Blocks.
Building Blocks do not change the underlying specification but provide an extra layer of coherence to support the FAIR principles for interoperability specifications.
This has the following advantages:
- Allows declaration of dependencies between STAC extensions
- Provides a register of STAC extensions in a form that can be integrated into the wider OGC knowledge base
- Allows for additional testing of correctness of examples and compatibility of extensions
- Provides a framework for defining profiles of STAC extensions, either through choice of options or through integration with other STAC extensions.
The generated documentation of each Building Block can be accessed here.
NB It is a design constraint on OGC API Records that it is compatible with STAC extends [OGC API features] and this is
