Helping the World to Communicate Geographically © 2004, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.4 OGC Sensor Web Scientific View Analysts and emergency managers monitor conditions in near real time spatial- temporal context. Policy-maker View Hot spot areas are correlated with population data and other geospatial data. These maps are used to make decisions about evacuation routes and reoccupation zones. Media/Public View Color coded symbols are used to indicate areas at risk and road closures. Other features and landmarks such as roads, buildings, and water bodies are used to add context. From Critical Infrastructure Protection Initiative September 2003

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically © 2004, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.11 What is the OGC? The Open GIS Consortium (OGC)The Open GIS Consortium (OGC) –Not-for-profit, international consortium –250+ industry, government, and university members (about 1/3 from Europe) Specification Development Program (since 1994)Specification Development Program (since 1994) –similar to other Industry consortia like W3C, OMG, etc. –Class A liaison with ISO/TC211 Interoperability Program (since 1999)Interoperability Program (since 1999) –a global, innovative, hands-on engineering and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and bring interoperability to the market Outreach and Community Adoption Program (since 2002)Outreach and Community Adoption Program (since 2002) –awareness raising, education and training, encourage take up of OpenGIS® interfaces, business development –Subsidiaries: OGC Europe, OGC Australia, … OGC Vision A world in which everyone benefits from geographic information and services made available across any network, application or platform. OGC Mission Our core mission is to deliver spatial interface specifications that are openly available for global use.
