® ® Collaborative Development of Open Standards for Expanding GeoWeb to the Internet of Things Expanding GeoWeb to an Internet of Things A workshop during COM.Geo May 2011, Washington DC George Percivall Open Geospatial Consortium © 2011 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.

OGC ® Open Standards for Expanding GeoWeb to IoT IoT: multi-technology, multi-vendor environment –Limited deployment without open, consensus standards –Build on multiple standards: ITU, ETSI, OMA, OGC, others. –OGC standards for location, spatial models, sensor webs Collaborative development key to consensus adoption and wide use of information technology standards. –Adaptive to rapidly changing developments in the marketplace. –Sound engineering foundation and select existing technology. OGC testbed process proven for collaborative development © 2011 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.

OGC ® What is the OGC? Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) –Not-for-profit, international voluntary consensus standards organization –Founded in 1994, Incorporated in US, UK, Australia –415 industry, government, research and university members OGC Mission To lead in the development, promotion and harmonization of open geospatial standards …

OGC ® Potential Standards areas for Geo-IoT Build on IoT standards work: ITU, ETSI, OMA, others. OGC standards applicability –Quality location and orientation –Spatial Models for ranges of spaces –Accuracy of semantic relevance –Sensor Web Enablement Identify additional specs needed and develop through testbed-based development –Running code wins © 2011 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.

OGC ® Steps for advancing GeoWeb onto IoT Define a standards-based GeoWeb meets IoT Framework to spur coordinated application development. OGC Specification Working Groups review of Framework to identify if additional standards are needed. Coordination of standards for location, space and time in IoT with other standards development organizations. Conduct IoT Testbed using the OGC Interoperability Program approach © 2011 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.
