Helping the World to Communicate Geographically © 2004, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.2 What is the OGC? The Open GIS Consortium (OGC)The Open GIS Consortium (OGC) –Not-for-profit, international consortium –250+ industry, government, and university members (about 1/3 from Europe) Specification Development Program (since 1994)Specification Development Program (since 1994) –similar to other Industry consortia like W3C, OMG, etc. –Class A liaison with ISO/TC211 Interoperability Program (since 1999)Interoperability Program (since 1999) –a global, innovative, hands-on engineering and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and bring interoperability to the market Outreach and Community Adoption Program (since 2002)Outreach and Community Adoption Program (since 2002) –awareness raising, education and training, encourage take up of OpenGIS® interfaces, business development –Subsidiaries: OGC Europe, OGC Australia, … OGC Vision A world in which everyone benefits from geographic information and services made available across any network, application or platform. OGC Mission Our core mission is to deliver spatial interface specifications that are openly available for global use.
