Objectives:

Convergence with ISO 19123-1 and ISO19123-2 CIS would be a goal
Continued community support and performance would also be a goal (download useful data to a browser)

Tasks:

Respond to vote comments (Started)
Adopt OGC Standards Document structure for Specification (DONE) see OGC21-069 in Pending folder
Minor, informative improvements to specification as originally specified at https://covjson.org/ :
- Add text to explain relation to ISO standard
- Add some top level, Dublin Core-like, metadata
- Produce a full JSON Schema (In Progress)
- Tighten specification of support for WKT for CRSs
- Alt-Range is not well understood or used, consider removal
Adopt CoverageJSON as OGC Community Standard (Target 2022-03)
Produce detailed CoverageJSON, CIS JSON, GeoTIFF, and CF-NetCDF3 comparison document via WCS SWG
- Keen volunteers identified!
- Text in GitHub (Started)
Request and propose further improvements to CoverageJSON specification:
- Support for multiple time axes
- Other backward compatible improvements (Version 1.x)
- Support for JSON-LD V1.1 (not clear if backward compatible)
- Support binary nD arrays of data (probably not needed because gZip very effective)
Identify and plan V2.x
