3. OGC Interoperability Program
The OGC Interoperability Program (IP) is an essential part of OGC's fast, effective, inclusive user-driven process to develop, test, demonstrate, and promote the use of OpenGIS® Specifications.
Over 30 initiatives have been successfully completed since Most OGC standards are advanced through this proven process.
