OpenGIS Web Coverage Service (WCS) Implementation Standard

The OpenGIS Web Coverage Service Interface Standard (WCS) defines a standard
interface and operations that enables interoperable access to geospatial
"coverages". The term "grid coverages" typically refers to content such as
satellite images, digital aerial photos, digital elevation data, and other
phenomena represented by values at each measurement point.

More information on the OGC WCS standard may be found at
