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. "We needed to rationally address data sharing." Dr. Robin Quenet, Project Manager, National Forest Information System (NFIS) NFIS Requirements met using OGC Standards
