Without vocabularies, we cannot communicate
And forget “real” content interoperability For the first 3 years of OGC existence, focus was on the Abstract Model, semantics, and vocabularies What is a coordinate? What is a Point? What is a feature? And ad-naseum Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

And yet The OGC has not generally focused on geosemantics and interoperability other than a few targeted projects Geosemantics Interoperability Experiment Geosemantics Domain Working Group But many member organizations are dealing with semantics and geosemantics Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

A process that seems to work

And then Encode the information model in a community accessible, consenus approved encoding Such as CityGML and GeoSciML Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Case 1 This collaboration can happen external to the OGC and then the work brought into the OGC The proposed Hydrology work is an example of this use case Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Case 2 This collaboration can happen external to the OGC and stay external to the OGC and approved as a standard in that domain’s appropriate accreditation body. GeoSciML Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
