# OGC API workshop
[](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15846453)
Welcome to the OGC API workshop!
## Overview
OGC is globally known for its proven widely implemented open standards. The OGC open consensus-based standards development process has evolved to move at the pace of innovation, with constant input from technology forecasting, practical prototyping, real-world testing, certification and compliance and community engagement. Today we are revolutionizing how geospatial/location information is shared, accessed, integrated, and analyzed via the OGC’s revolutionary APIs- the building blocks for location information.
[OGC APIs](https://ogcapi.ogc.org) are designed to make it easy for ANYONE to provide and use geospatial data on the web, and to integrate this data with ANY other type of information. These Standards build upon the legacy of the OGC Web Service Standards (WMS, WFS, WCS, WPS, etc.), but define resource-centric APIs that take advantage of modern web development practices. This web page provides information on these Standards in a consolidated location.
These Standards are being constructed as "building blocks" that can be used to assemble novel APIs for web access to geospatial content. The building blocks are defined not only by the requirements of the Standards specified in the [OGC's Standards Program](https://www.ogc.org/standards), but also through interoperability prototyping and testing in the [OGC's Collaborative Solutions and Innovation Program](https://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/programs/ip).
## For users
Are you a workshop participant or want to dive-in individually? Go to [ogcapi-workshop.ogc.org](https://ogcapi-workshop.ogc.org) to follow the lessons and exercises.
## For authors
Below are guidelines for authoring and/or improving the workshop's content.
### Building the workshop content locally
The workshop manual is powered by [Zensical](https://zensical.org) which facilitates easy management
of content and publishing. Workshop content is written in Markdown.
### Setting up the manual environment locally
```bash
# build a virtual Python environment in isolation
python3 -m venv .
. bin/activate
# fork or clone from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogcapi-workshop.git
cd ogcapi-workshop/workshop/content
# install required dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# build the website
zensical build
# serve locally
zensical serve # website is made available on http://localhost:8000
```
