OGC Standards are the glue to geospatial information interoperability, and are used by thousands of organizations across the globe and represented in millions of lines of code. They are backed by international organizations, used in proposals, and implemented to speed up the process of innovation.
Any Schemas (XSD, JSON Schema, etc) that support an approved Implementation Standard can be found in the official OGC Schema Repository.
Implementation Standards are different from the Abstract Specification. They are written for a more technical audience and detail the interface structure between software components.
An interface specification is considered to be at the implementation level of detail if, when implemented by two different software engineers in ignorance of each other, the resulting components plug and play with each other at that interface.
