Structure of Modules

The content is structure in Modules. A module is composed of other sub models that provide a coherent set of content for the parent module. A module can be basic or advanced. For example, the image shows different levels of modules for an OGC visualization standards super module.

• Core Concepts

  • The Geospatial Web (Internet, web services, etc.)
  • Interoperability Standards and OGC

Descriptive parts of a Module

Each module has the following:

• Overview
• Audience
• Learning Objectives
• Prerequisites

Format

The format to use is rst, which is more powerful than markdown and in particular allows a document to import other content and easily create an online documentation website (e.g the OGC E-Learning Demo)

Use OGC GitHub

Primary source will be OGC E-Learning github, which is controlled by OGC staff. The process:

1. Collaboratively develop overview pages in OGC GitHub
2. OGC makes this content available in an OGC web page
3. Others (e.g. OSGeo live) copy the overview pages into their one documentation
