Services
In Web services following the open OGC standards, coverages can be used by various service types:
- Web Coverage Service which offers a simple access protocol for coverage subsetting, as well as optional advanced functionality
- Web Coverage Processing Service which offers a raster query language for ad-hoc processing and filtering
- Web Feature Service (although coverages can only be served as a whole, making it unwieldy in face of the often high-volume coverages, like satellite maps)
- Web Processing Service which allows publishing any kind of algorithm through an advanced remote procedure call style protocol
- Sensor Web Enablement, due to the GMLCOV use of the SWE Common standard
