CoverageJSON Community Meeting, 2026-07-15, Wednesday, 15:00 UTC (09:00 MDT, 11:00 EDT, 16:00 BST, 17:00 CEST, 23:00 CST, Thurs 01:00 AET)

Attendees:

• Chris Little, Met Office
• Charles Reed, Compass
• Mark Burgoyne, Met Office
• Jerome St Louis, Ecere

Apologies:

• Adam Warde, ECMWF

Agenda:

Progress, including previous actions

Pull Requests

• tweak Schemas to match agreed V1.0.1 normative text [V1.0 Schemas added to repo, errors spotted in PR for V1.0.1, Chris will fix]
• workflows [Adam previously agreed to create workflow to build schema bundle]

Issues

• The JSON Schema is a build of the Draft-07 dialect. Other dialects may be needed, such as 2019 and 2020 (latter needed for compatibility with OpenAPI 3.1) and perhaps future changes from IETF JSON Schema.
• Additional dimensions one only or n generalised as in EDR, Common Part 2 and Coverages APIs [Jerome will demonstrate an easily built client] [Agreed that any added generic dimensions could be for a new Domain DataCube only, rather than all pre-defined Domain types, such as Grid]

ACTIONS:

Alignments: V1.1 needed for consistency with API-EDR Part 1: Mark Burgoyne had proposed two options for adding ensemble or other dimensions support for V1.1 in the recent Met Ocean DWG Workshop. He will open issues and develop a PR for the preferred, simpler option to add a single extra dimension e("extra" or "ensemble") Should be straightforward to add to each of existing pre-defined Domain types[Needs formal PR and consensus]

Any Other Business: NONE

Date of Next Meeting: Wed 29 July 2026, 15:00 UTC (09:00 MDT, 11:00 EDT, 16:00 BST, 17:00 CEST, 23:00 CST, Thurs 01:00 AET)
