Data Cubes for geospatial information provide the means to integrate observations and other types of geospatial data for use in multiple applications through simplified access and efficient analytics. Acknowledging that diverse implementations already exist, this Community Best Practice, developed by the OGC members and supported by at least 6 independent implementations listed in the document, defines requirements for a core Geospatial Coverage Data Cube infrastructure and guidelines for enhancements and extensions to the basic core. With this paper and other activities, OGC is contributing to the advancement of Data Cubes more generally and as a foundation for federations of Data Cubes for geospatial information.
