Geospatial
Standards in the catalog that belong to geospatial — 7 of them. A standard is listed here only when it is specific to this industry; the general-purpose ones it also relies on, like HTTP, OAuth and JSON Schema, deliberately carry no domain.
The same industry, as data models
16 data models define what information exists in geospatial, as opposed to the standards applied in API operations listed below. Same industry, two lenses.
