OGC API – Records
The OGC API family of Standards is being developed to make it easy for anyone to provide geospatial data over the web. These Standards build upon the legacy of the OGC Web Service Standards (WMS, WFS, WCS, WPS, CSW, etc.), but define resource-centric APIs that take advantage of modern web development practices.
An implementation of the OGC API — Records Standard provides a way to browse or search a curated collection of records known as a catalog. The Records API Standard envisions deploying a catalog using one of the following patterns:
a collection of static files, a collection of records accessed via an API.

Overview
OGC API – Records is a multi-part Standard that offers the capability to create, modify, and query metadata on the Web. The Standard enables the discovery of geospatial resources by standardizing the way collections of descriptive information about the resources (metadata) are exposed. The Standard also enables the discovery and sharing of related resources that may be referenced from geospatial resources or their metadata by standardizing the way all kinds of records are exposed and managed. Part 1 covers access to records and simple query capabilities. Additional capabilities that address specific needs will be specified in additional parts. Capabilities for richer queries or to create, update or delete records will be specified in additional parts.
