Markets · bedrock market · provisional

Geospatial and Maps (OGC standards)

De jure shape family (ogc web services + ogc api) with a compliance register. The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.

40providers measured

18 (45.0%)declare their own

10 (25.0%)covered by others only

2 (5.0%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)

10 (25.0%)undeclared

8declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)

0in-market workflows shown

Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.

Where this market publishes its structure

OGC Implementation Database (compliant.php, implementing.php, product.php: product, org, spec+version, Compliant date, valid-until) machine-readable
Providers' own OGC support pages (fetched, saved under evidence/compatibility/) machine-readable
Providers' own contracts naming an OGC interface in info/tags/servers machine-readable
Structural detection: /conformance + /collections/{id}/items (OGC API - Features, ours, marked) machine-readable
Esri ArcGIS Marketplace partner listings not machine-readable: client-rendered; no machine-readable listing found
Mapbox partner directory not machine-readable: marketing page, no partner domains

Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.

Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io

Derived 2026-10-23 from the 40 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

Tags	Geospatial 85%, Geocoding 57%, Maps 42%, Location 30%, Routing 30%, Mapping 28%, GIS 25%
Tag groups	Geospatial 85%, Geocoding 68%, GIS 33%
Industries	Weather & Geospatial 95%

share of resolved cohort carrying it; tags >=0.20 & >=3 members (max 12, junk dropped), tag_groups >=0.20 (cooccurrence, non-cross-cutting; max 8), industries >=0.20 (max 6), areas >=0.10 (max 6; areas are keyword-matched and sparse), capabilities L1 >=0.20 (max 8); derive-market-taxonomy.py

Leaders by position (provisional)

Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.

Shape adoption report only — not weighted

Report only, not weighted (Kin, 2026-10-13): `compatible` edges are shape votes (the provider re-serves the anchor's contract). They are shown here and as 'declares compatibility' on a provider, and are excluded from depth, position and the own/covered declaration until they hold across four weekly snapshots.

Pattern: register. Shape gravity (counted by company, one edge per provider, the best evidence kept): 14. Convergence in the cohort: 6 of 39 (15.4%) — cohort members (minus the anchor's family, mediators and rival shapes) with at least one compatible edge to the shape, read from evidence.
