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
6 (15.0%)declare their own
5 (12.5%)covered by others only
2 (5.0%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
27 (67.5%)undeclared
6declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)

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 2026-10-15 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.
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
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): 12. 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.
