OGC Organization and ProgramsOGC Organization and Programs


OGCOGC’’s Approach for Advancing Interoperabilitys Approach for Advancing Interoperability

• Interoperability Program (IP) - a global, innovative, hands-on prototyping and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and validation, and bring interoperability to the market

• Specification Development Program–Consensus processes similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide Web Consortium, OMA, OMG, etc.).

• Outreach and Community Adoption Program – education and training, encourage take up of OGC specifications, business development, communications programs

Rapid InterfaceDevelopment

The OGC Interoperability ProgramThe OGC Interoperability Program

• A global, collaborative, hands-on engineering, prototyping and testing program started in 1999, designed to rapidly deliver :

– candidate specifications into the Specification Development Process

– product implementations that use these candidate standards

– demonstrated capability achieved through comprehensive testing, validation and public demonstrations

• Sponsors and Participants work together.

– Sponsors provide requirements, use / business casesand funding

– Participants work with sponsors to define and/orrefine OGC interface specifications to solve a given interoperability problem

Types of OGC Initiatives


OGC Adopted Standards OGC Adopted Standards SummarySummary


OGC ArchitectureOGC Architecture

• OGC standards can be integrated into a web services architecture / platform so that:– Resource providers can advertise their resources

(publish)– End users can discover resources that they need at

run-time (find)– End users and their applications can access and

exercise resources at run-time (bind)

• This requires:– A forum where resources can advertise their

capabilities and users can find the resources they need.

– Self describing resources so applications can bind at run-time to the resources that they have found.

Just as http:// is the dial tone of the World Wide Web, and html / xml are the standard encodings, the spatial web is enabled by OGC standards, such as…

Geospatial information (e.g., vector, raster, gridded, and metadata) can be managed through OpenGIS web services in a Net Centric context.

• Application Schema / Profiles:– CSML: (Climate Science)– TransXML (Transportation Engineering)– LandGML (Land Survey) – Imagery (GML in JPEG2000) – CityGML (virtual 3D city models) – S57GML (Hydrographic Charting) – AIXM GML (Aviation) – XMML (Mining and Mineral Exploration) – geoRSS GML (news feeds)– Simple Features Profile– Simple Dictionary Profile


Location Based Services (OpenLS)

• Includes location-based emergency services, location-based information services, location-responsive instant-messaging systems and other services.

• OGC's Open Location Services (OpenLS) specification provides standards framework consistent with both telephony standards and geospatial standards.

• So, geospatial applications can be easily developed and integrated across a range of location-aware mobile devices and networks.

Canada's National Forest Service Information SystemCanada's National Forest Service Information System

The NFIS team had these requirements: 1.The solution had to be vendor neutral.2.The solution had to have a low cost of

entry (funding for the different partners varied widely).

3.The solution had to ensure that intellectual property rights stayed with the agency/government that created the data.

4.The solution, to address low cost of entry, should have an open source option.

• There is a great deal of activity underway to expand this framework to address– Real Time asset integration– e-commerce / e-government

• The academic / research community is leveraging OGC to accelerate the validation and transfer of research findings into practical application

• Still more opportunity for collaboration!
