3. OGC ® OGC’s approach to advancing interoperability Interoperability Program (IP) – a global, innovative, hands-on rapid prototyping engineering and testing program for accelerating interface development and bringing interoperability to the market. Specification Development Program – consensus processes similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide Web Consortium, OMG, etc.). Outreach and Community Adoption Program – education and training, encourage use of OGC standards, business development, communications programs 3 Rapid Interface Development Standards Setting Market Adoption © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

4. OGC ® OGC Interoperability Program Bring Sponsors and Participants together in rapid, hands-on collaborative engineering efforts to –Produce and test Candidate Implementation Standards –Perform research on the use of IT regarding relevance and ability of standards to help solve geospatial interoperability problems –Develop and test prototype interoperable infrastructures based on OGC and related standards –Advance and demonstrate the maturity of interoperable implementations sufficient for organizations to base procurement decisions © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

5. OGC ® Who are the Sponsors and the Participants? Contribute financial resources in support of an initiative Drive requirements, technical scope, agenda, demonstration form and content of an initiative Sponsors Contribute to the definition of interfaces, prototypical implementations, and other engineering support Contribute in-kind funding Participants © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

6. OGC ® What are the deliverables? Engineering Reports Maybe draft standards/best practices, reports of testing results and conclusions, change requests, etc Software Implementations Interoperable running code wins Demonstrations Of software and standards in real world examples to show why technology matters to end-users © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

7. OGC ® OGC Interoperability Program Return on Investment Participants in OGC testbeds and pilot initiatives contribute more in in-kind contributions (labor, software, infrastructure etc.) than is provided in Sponsor funding. For every one Euro or Dollar in sponsorship funding, the following initiatives have yielded: –Web Mapping Testbed I (1999)4 times –OGC Web Services 3 Testbed3 times –OGC Web Services 4 Testbed3.5 times –OGC Web Services 5 Testbed3.3 times –OGC Web Services 6 Testbed3.1 times –OGC Web Services 7 Testbed2.5 times –OGC SAA Pilot1.9 times –OGC Web Services 8 Testbed2.8 times © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium7

8. OGC ® Benefits to Participants (Technology Vendors) Opportunity to cooperatively develop open standards Early insight into user requirements for interoperability, and early experience with and influence in developing standards in the context of user business cases Early visibility; Early market deployment: Bring new products and services using OpenGIS specifications into the marketplace earlier Early skill building: Reduce development costs / risks and lead time for developing interfaces (community-wide cost sharing) Broaden market reach via products that implement OpenGIS specificationss © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

9. OGC ® Interoperability Program – Major Benefits To Sponsors Ability to Determine Market Interest -- OGC’s RFQ / RFT process validates the willingness of industry to address specific interoperability issues requiring new standards Rapid prototype development yields workable interface specifications in 4-6 months vice years for traditional standards processes Vendors test, validate and demonstrate interface integrity by implementing candidate specifications in their products (reduces the risk that a proposed standard will not perform as intended) Accelerated process encourages rapid time to market for Standards- based solutions –OGC member vendors are typically early adopters of new specifications © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

OGC ® OGC Testbed Approach *RFQ/CFP = Request for Quotation / Call for Participation Execution Task D Kick-offPreparation Task C RFQ/CFP*Development Task B ConceptDevelopment Task A OGC staff manages the entire process with policies and procedures proven to produce results. Over 40 initiatives have been successfully completed since 1999. Most OGC standards are advanced through this process. http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/initiatives © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

16. OGC ® PUCK Ideas for OWS -9 So far PUCK has been tested in several instruments (mostly fixed). Need to expand to other sensors/platforms with more complex data structures (e.g. mobile platforms). Advance use of SensorML (e.g. simple) and Sensor interface Descriptors (SID) Presented as a technology that can be use by sensor manufacturers and owners to make their sensor description data pluggable to SWE (e.g. Sensor Observation Service) © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

17. OGC ® Internet of Things IoT is the networked interconnection of everyday objects with embedded computers, sensors and actuators. Data “authored” by objects everywhere will transform society at a scale beyond that WWW –“pre-configured information” already in the device, e.g. RFID –“sensed information” from physical world by sensors. –All information will have a location Application of OGC standards to Internet of Things Scenario for tracking objects and their surrounding environment Components –Deployed Identification technology, e.g., RFID –Deployed sensors: SWE and simple SensorML –Location model in CityGML –Clients to support tracking © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium

18. OGC ® Augmented Reality Augmented Reality Markup Language –ARML v2.0 SWG will commence in Nov –Two profiles of OGC KML for AR are converging in SWG –Idea: “AR Page” is like a webpage + location OWS-9 idea –Apply draft of ARML 2.0 © 2011, Open Geospatial Consortium
