Denise McKenzie @spatialred Updates from the OGC Speaking today about Mobile, Sensors & Big Data. A little on what is already available and relevant to the Defence and Intelligence Community, but will focus on some standards that are coming or have quite recently been released. Will also touch briefly on some documents that were presented last year to the UNGGIM that may be of use to some of you. But first …….

The Guide & Companion Document A Guide to the Role of Standards in Geospatial Informaiton Management http://ggim.un.org/docs/meetings/GGIM4/E-C20-2014-8_Essential%20Standards%20Guide%20for%20UNGGIM.pdf Companion Document on Standards Recommendation by Tier http://ggim.un.org/docs/meetings/GGIM4/E-C20-2014-8_Companion%20Document%20UNGGIM%20Essential%20Standards%20Guide.pdf

Purpose Not Technical! Articulate the critical role of standards in geospatial information management Inform policy makers and program managers in Member States of the value in using and investing in geospatial standardization Describe the benefits of using “open” geospatial standards to achieve standardization, data sharing, and interoperability goals

What, Why & How What is a Standard? Why are Standards important? What is an “open standard”? Why are Open Standards valuable? How are standards developed?

Moving Features Encoding Moving Vehicles & Personnel Defines an abstract model for encoding moving feature data Demonstrated by Hitachi at the OGC TC meeting in Tokyo Announced in November last year Demonstrated at the TC meetings in Tokyo by Hitachi through social analytics on who spoke with who, also was used to track movement of people on Tokyo public transport Defines an abstract model for encoding moving feature data. It also provides an XML encoding in the form of a GML application schema and simple CSV format.

ARML 2.0 Encoding for mobile Augmented Reality Draws from the KML standard Was demonstrated at last years Mobile World Congress by Wikitude, Metaio and Layar. And has been a joint effort between the three AR browser companies and subsequently is being implemented by a number of companies in the mobile AR space.

SensorThings API Builds on Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) Framework Lightweight encoding and protocol standard for battery-powered wireless sensors http://ogc-iot.github.io/ogc-iot-api/ 50 billion connected devices by 2020 Lightweight encoding and protocol standard Developers think: REST, JSON, Linked Data and Pub-Sub Designed for use in battery-powered wireless sensors, location and navigation in small areas, navigation-to-thing, context specific ‘around me’ use cases, visualisation in 3D city models and indoor models, space-time web navigation, big data, large scale transaction rates, access to real time location sources, semantic translation & privacy and access controls. It has been developed entirely on Github. Recent conference, the chair of the SWG asked “please implement it, use it, critique it, feedback” we want to be able to make it better for you to use.

W3C / OGC Spatial Data on the Web Working Group Location, Place, Linked-Data, Semantics, Time Bringing location to everything on the web http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/sdwwg To create started almost a year ago. Challenging to bring two standards processes into sync. Happened because the developer community requested that the two standards organisations make one standard jointly – we listened. Full charter on the web that outlines the complete scope, currently calling for work group members, preference to organisations that are members of both W3C & OGC. First F2F meeting will be in Barcelona at OGC TC. Aiming for a draft by July 2016

Testbed 11 #OGCTB11 3 Key Threads Cross- Community Interoperability (CCI) (includes Aviation) Urban-Climate Resilience (UCR) Geospatial Enhancements for NIEM (Geo4NEIM) Sponsors and Participants from USA, Europe & Asia (Including DSTL UK) Demonstration at the June TC meetings in Colorado, USA Kick off happened last week in Washington. Testbed (formerly known as the OWS Testbed) is an annual prototyping and testing environment that aims to bring sponsors together to co-fund the development and testing of OGC standards in real-world scenarios. 3 Key Threads Cross-Community Interoperability (CCI) (includes Aviation) –  - Builds on work in previous Testbeds 9 and 10 Guidelines that can be applied across the OGC Architecture for REST and SOAP; Development of a consistent approach across the OGC standards for using JSON and GeoJSON;  Advancing use of Linked Data and Semantic Enabling of OGC Web Services, use of social media data, and to advance the use and sharing of common symbology; and Compliance task for CAT 3.0 and WFS 1.1.0. Aviation tasks are included in this thread to continue to advance the work from previous testbeds for the net-centric (System Wide) Information Management (SWIM) related components of the US NextGen and EU SESAR programs. Urban-Climate Resilience (UCR) - About need to make climate information and related data readily available for the public and government decision makers Requirements include: access to and control of simulation models and high-resolution data; integration of various data sources using different encodings and bindings, including data streaming, GeoPackage creation, and web processing & synchronisation; geosynchronization aspects in secure environments; Geospatial Enhancements for NIEM (Geo4NIEM) - builds on the success of the previous Geo4NIEM effort within OGC, to further collaboration and to advance the findings and recommendations from the previous Geo4NIEM initiative. ( for further information can be found on this specific piece of work on our website) In Testbed 11, this thread will investigate and test recommendations for alignment of IC Data Encoding specifications with the NIEM technical architecture in a security architecture built on an OGC deployment environment; processing NIEM-conformant IEPDs through an OGC architecture in a round-trip workflow process; and investigate and test an API for processing GML feature representations leveraging NIEM components. This thread also seeks to analyze and develop recommendations to apply a consistent approach for Authentication, Authorization, Access Control and Auditing capabilities for the suite of OGC service standards as an OGC Security Extension Common for any OGC service standard.

Testbed 12 Schedule Official Launch - Early May (Sneek Peak & briefing on process) Testbed 11 Demonstrations & F2F discussions at Boulder TC - June 2015 Potential Sponsors - Briefing at GEOINT + Webinar July, 2015 Sponsors Commitment by - September 1, 2015 RFP for Participants published - October 1, 2015 Responses to RFP due back to OGC - November 13, 2015 Testbed 12 Kick-Off - January 2016
