Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Interoperability – You know when you don’t have it… Custom Integration High system lifecycle costs Difficult to rapidly mobilize new capabilities Duplication of effort, missed opportunities to collaborate Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.,

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., Why Open Standards? Rapidly mobilize new capabilities – plug and play Lower systems costs Encourage market competition –Choose based on functionality desired –Avoid “lock in” to a proprietary architecture Decisions to share information and services become policy decisions
