The JSON-FG Standard, short for Features and Geometries JSON was finally published. This is good news for anyone who wants to exchange geospatial data in JSON, using something other than WGS84! https://www.ogc.org/announcement/ogc-releases-the-features-and-geometries-json-json-fg-standard/ #standards #OGC #JSON
OGC Releases JSON-FG Standard for GeoJSON Extensions

@pygeoapi is the "More OGC APIs" section on https://dive.pygeoapi.io/standards/#more-ogc-apis a sort of todo list / roadmap or are some of the standards there already supported?

💡🧩FOSS4G Observatory Spotlight: GeoTools

GeoTools 35.0 is out! GeoTools is an open source Java library that provides standards-compliant methods for geospatial data in GIS applications.

👉 https://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com/2026/06/geotools-350-released.html

In our FOSS4G Observatory graph, GeoTools appears as an important hub, connecting projects such as @postgis , @geoserver and @gdal while supporting the implementation of #OGC standards.

Greetings from the #OGC members meeting - Helsinki Connect … in Helsinki 🍦🌎 Completed the first day of #interoperability #standards and #connecting . Already had fruitful conversations on #DGGS of course, global spatial IDs and #Europe data sovereignty

GeoParquet, an open format for geospatial vector data in #Apache Parquet, combining cloud-native analytics ⚡ with spatial metadata 📄, is becoming increasingly present in geospatial workflows ☁️🌍📊

The #OGC has published guidance for distributing #GeoParquet files, covering compression, spatial indexing & ordering, row group sizing, partitioning, and metadata.

It also includes practical commands for common tools to help generate optimized outputs ⚙️

GeoJSON innovation: OGC Features and Geometries JSON – Spatialists – geospatial news

The #OGC has released “JSON-FG”, a #GeoJSON superset that adds support for coordinate reference systems beyond WGS 1984, temporal feature properties, 3D geometry types, and more. Legacy tools remain fully compatible, while modern clients gain a more expressive data format.

📡 The #geospatial #ecosystem is increasingly converging around interoperable, cloud-native standards ☁️ 🛰️

The #OGC has officially adopted #openEO as a Community Standard, another step toward API-first, interoperable #EarthObservation workflows 🌍

Together with STAC, COGs, and other cloud-native standards, openEO reflects the broader shift toward a more connected geospatial infrastructure 🔗 🗺️
