Hi Carl,
Thank you for your update on the circle element for SF. The
accelerated time line coupled with the release of the draft to the EM-TC
under our MoU will help greatly in moving forward with both the DE and
Sit-rep work. I have added the full EM-TC to this reply.
Regards,

Dear EM TC -
Lew suggested I provide an update on the plan to add the
Circle geometry element to the OGC GML Simple Features profile. Given the
known requirement for a circle geometry, a couple of months ago the
editors of the GML Simple Features profile wrote an official Change
Request to be applied to the profile. This week I spoke with the editors
of the profile and they are happy to incorporate the circle geometry into
the profile. I also spoke with the editor of the OGC Simple Features
Interface standard (which is also an ISO standard) and he is happy to see
this addition as he also needs to add the circle geometry to the OGC
Simple Features standard. So, the harmonization stars have aligned. This
represented general consensus that we can move forward quickly with this
addition.
To further expedite the process, the OGC will use our
corrigendum process which can get approval and public publication in as
little as 30 days. Further, as OASIS and the OGC have a formal MoU, I can
release the draft document directly to the EM TC prior to formal approval
in the OGC.
Will keep everyone informed as we progress.
