1. What does the Joint Staff J7 need from the OGC moving forward?
Evolve and expand CDB to meet the future JS J7 needs while maintaining:
Determinism (e.g. defined spatial reference frames, structure, schemas, etc.)
Geospatial data breadth and depth (e.g. ability to support virtual, constructive, and gaming simulations)
Simulation performances (e.g. 60 Hertz rendering, levels of details, tiling, etc.)
Evolve CDB to:
Modernize and alignment with other OGC standards (e.g. GML, GeoPackage, CityGML, etc.)
Update to Best of Breed metadata and feature data dictionaries
Expand CDB to:
Include human geography, pattern of life, and weather & environmental effects
Fully enable crowd sourcing for all data layers
The JS J7 vision is to adopt OGC standards when possible, evolve OGC standards to meet the mission needs when necessary, and create new standards as a last resort
