Adding OGC API - Records

We have added information on OGC API - Records to the APIs page, with a runnable example for the BTAA Geoportal, the Big Ten Academic Alliance’s (BTAA) shared catalog of geospatial data.

From the OGC API - Records home page:

OGC API - Records is a multi-part Standard that offers the capability to create, modify, and query metadata on the Web. The Standard enables the discovery of geospatial resources by standardizing the way collections of descriptive information about the resources (metadata) are exposed.

The example walks the standard’s discovery chain against the BTAA Geoportal’s catalog and prints each request URL, so any step can be replayed with curl. It uses uv, so you can run it directly:

uv run https://opendata.lib.umd.edu/code/geoportal-ogc-records.py
