Agenda Why OGC is interested in the Modeling and Simulation community
About the OGC Who uses our standards How we create standards How we test and improve standards

The Open Geospatial Consortium
Not-for-profit, international voluntary consensus standards organization; leading development of geospatial standards Founded in 1994 with 8 charter members 510+ members Over 50 standards and related best practices Thousands of product implementations Broad user community implementation worldwide Alliances and collaborative activities with many other organizations OGC was incorporated in 1994 as an international consortium devoted to making it easier to share, access, process and apply location information to decision making. Our mission is two fold: To advance the development and use of international standards and supporting services that provide geospatial interoperability. Serve as the global forum for the collaboration of geospatial data / solution providers and users. Since our inception we have grown from 8 initial members to over 520 industry, government, academic, research and NGO members representing the Americas, Europe, Asia/Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our membership is diverse and well suited for addressing interoperability challenges, with strong representation from the user and industry communities, as well as active participation by research and academic organizations. All of these organizations work fluidly in the OGC process to define “pain points” in interoperability and to drive solutions forward ni key OGC programs.

Who uses our standards
10
887 implementing products
from 261 organizations
11
Roles Data collectors Data builders Data providers Data fusers
Metadata Data builders Simple features, GML, KML, CityGML Data providers WMS, WFS, WCS Data fusers WPS, WMS, WFS, WCS
12
Who Most of the providers of source data for the modeling and simulation community Defense and Intelligence organizations National mapping agencies NGOs Satellite operators The “Crowd”

14
Example OGC Commercial Members
These organisations bring domain expertise, their approach to standards based on their end customer requirements and they also build system architectures and solutions using standards. Some of them have even brought widely accepted solutions, such as KML into the OGC standards process.

How we create standards
17
What is an OGC Standard? A document, established by consensus and approved by the OGC Membership, that provides rules and guidelines, aimed at the optimum degree of interoperability in a given context. Community requirements Member requirements Market trends Technology trends
18
Making a standard in five steps
Identify requirements Form a Standards Working Group (SWG) Create the Standard Submit Standard for internal review and public comment OGC members vote to approve Standard
19
How we test and improve standards
20
OGC’s Approach for Advancing Interoperability
Interoperability Program (IP) – a global, innovative, hands-on rapid prototyping and testing program. Unites users and industry to accelerate interface development and validation, and the delivery of interoperability to the market Rapid Interface Development Standards Program – Consensus standards process similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide Web Consortium, OMA etc.). Standards Setting Compliance Testing and Certification Program – allows organizations that implement an OGC standard to test their implementations with the mandatory elements of that standard Testing & Certification Communications and Outreach Program – education and training, encourage take up of OGC standards, business development, communications programs Market Adoption
