FAIRsharing record for: Open Geospatial Consortium API - Records - Part 1: Core

This FAIRsharing record describes: This document defines the OGC API — Records — Part 1: Core Standard. In this document “Records API” refers to the OGC API — Records — Part 1: Core Standard.
The content of a Record makes a resource discoverable by providing summary information (metadata) about the resource. In this context, resources are things that would be useful to a user or developer, such as features, coverages, tiles / maps, styles, assets, machine models, services, processes, widgets, notebooks etc.
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, or a collection of records accessed via an API.
A record is the atomic unit of information in a catalog. It contains descriptive information (metadata) about a resource. The Records API Standard expects and encourages implementations to enrich the information content of a record to suit specific use cases, requirements, domains, or communities of interest.
