OGC Tech Trends and Roadmapping Process Identification of Technology Trends Breadth Trends Mindmap Technology Roadmaps Assessment Characterize and Prioritize Trends Take Action e.g. planning Testbeds Focus Member Consultation Standards Program Communications & Outreach Innovation e.g. Future Directions e.g. NDA Tailored forecasts/discussion e.g. Location Powers The OGC process at t high level is straight forward – we work with our members, our liaison and partner organizations, and experts form the broader technology community to identify potential technology trends. We then engage in a process to characterize and prioritize these trends with respect to what OGC can do to support more efficient deployment of these trends. Finally we work to identify specific initiatives and priorities to insert activities in our process to support development of standards and best practices / interoperability arrangements and efficiencies to allow trends to be rapidly mobilized as they become market realities. https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends © 2019 Open Geospatial Consortium

OGC Tech Trends Mindmap OGC maintains our Technology Trends and roadmapping on a GitHub site that is publicly accessible. Just visit the URL noted here, or search for “OGC Technology Trends” to access the GitHub repository for our work. Please also offer your recommendations on trends of importance - this process benefits greatly from broad community input.

Identifying “Ripe Trends” Criteria 1: Horizon Now: current activity in OGC program that is leading to mature product (TRL 6+) Next: Planned for next testbed or a SWG to happen in the next year. After Next: Future Criteria 2: Impact Sustaining innovation comes from listening to the needs of customers in the existing market and creating products that satisfy their predicted needs for the future. Disruptive innovation Disruptive innovation creates new markets separate to the mainstream; markets that are unknowable at the time of the technologies conception. Disruptive Ripe – High Near Ripe – Medium Sustaining Track – Low Next After Next © 2019 Open Geospatial Consortium
