C (Major re-organization of specification)
Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Reason for change:
The WCS 1.1 specification is too long for easy understanding and easy
editing, and some proposed changes will make it even longer. The ease of
understanding and editing can be improved by dividing it into multiple parts.
Summary of change: Divide the next version of the WCS standard into at least two parts, by
separating out the material expected to also be used by other OGC Web
Services, into a separate “Grid coverages common” standard
Consequences if
not approved:
Continued difficulty in understanding and correctly implementing WCS due
to length and complexity of specification
Clauses affected:
Most
Other specs
Other core specifications
