Computational viewpoint: captures component and interface details without regard to distribution. Engineering viewpoint: exposes the distributed nature of the system and provides standard definitions to describe engineering constraints.

30. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically © 2003, OGC30 OGC Geographic Objects Initiative Overview Extends OGC beyond the WWW Provides for future interoperability on multiple computing platforms Uses Unified Modeling Language™ (UML™) to capture and express the essence of information and services Allows developers to take advantage of the valuable components on any development platform required. Abstract Model (UML) Profile for DCP Implementation The GO-1 Initiative is developing an open set of consistent, language-independent interface models for describing, managing, rendering, and manipulating map displays, features, coordinate spaces and other topics that can support development of applications on multiple distributed computing platforms (DCP). These Geographic Objects will be defined at an abstract level using UML models and at a DCP specific level for Java and Web implementations.

31. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically © 2003, OGC31 Geographic Objects-1 Technology View Produce an Abstract Service Interface Specification for all GO-1 Objects (Application Objects, Information Objects and Service Objects) from which multiple implementation profiles could be derived for specific target platforms. Specify, build and test a Java Implementation Profile as derived from the GO-1 Abstract Service Interface Specification.

32. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically © 2003, OGC32 OGC on Review Policy OGC concurs with the Review Policy as written, given the following: Full implementation of the process will not be truly rational until: –An USG Architecture (Framework) is defined to describe how the Endorsed “Mandatory” or “Recommended” Standards ‘fit’ together to meet government needs Somebody may have developed slickest steering wheel in existence, but it is not of much value in an fighter jet airplane The GIRM was intended to serve this purpose, and to compliment data content standards development by FGDC We do not believe you can properly evaluate any standards for adoption without this level of organization The FGDC determination of status organizations as Voluntary Consensus should be performed once –By assuring that organization policies and procedures meet the criteria. Repetitave determination is not warranted. –Rather, require that all changes in Policies and Procedures that might affect this status be identified when they occur
