OGC ® Compliance with Federal Open Data Policy in NOAA Big Data CRADA Accessible: –Available in convenient, modifiable, and open formats that can be retrieved, downloaded, indexed, and searched –To the extent permitted by law, these formats should be non-proprietary, publicly available, and no restrictions should be placed upon their use. © 2016, Open Geospatial Consortium Executive Order 13642; and OMB M : readable-the-new-default-for-government-information

OGC ® Why Open Standards? ● Prevents a single, self-interested party from controlling a standard Lower systems and life cycle costs Encourage market competition – Choose based on functionality desired – Avoid “lock in” to a proprietary architecture Stimulates innovation beyond the standard by companies that seek to differentiate themselves.
