OGC Standards: Innovation and

Agility

OGC ®

Myth – Standards Inhibit Innovation

• Reality

– Standards serve as a knowledge base and catalyst for innovation.

– Norms and standards are a source of knowledge for research and

development, for they reflect the current state of technology as a

result of the participation of numerous experts in the relevant fields.

Standards, innovation and the Australian economy

• 1% increase in use of Standards associated with 17% increase in productivity

• Together with R&D expenditure, a 1% increase in this joint stock of knowledge leads to an additional 12% increase in economy-wide productivity.

– Provide a common language for discussion;

– Underpin markets & help solve externality problems;

– Underpin innovation and knowledge dissemination;

– Reduce costs of production and increase productivity;

– Help provide safety outcomes and assist with risk.

OGC Open GeoSMS

Defines a short messaging service (SMS) encoding to

exchange lightweight location information between

different mobile devices or applications.

Open GeoSMS encoding for location is compatible with

other OGC standards, such as those for sensor webs

and earth imaging.

It is also compatible with other standards such as the

OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) standard and

the IETF RFC Presence Information Data Format

Location Object (PIDF-LO).

Location Enabling SMS Messaging: GeoSMS

• Characteristics

– Multilingual

– Multi-device

– Harmonized with many

existing applications

– Incorporates relevant

ISO standards

Copyright © 2010, Open Geospatial Consortium

• Significant potential for many applications

Citizen Observatory Web (CobWEB)

• COBWEB will leverage the UNESCO World Network of

Biosphere Reserves (WNBR).

• The infrastructure will exploit technological developments in

ubiquitous mobile devices, crowd-sourcing of geographic

information and the operationalizing of standards based

SDI such as the UK Location Information Infrastructure.

• Will aim to improve the usability of OGC Sensor Web

Enablement standards with mobile devices, develop

widespread acceptance of the data quality measures we

develop and maximize the commercial appeal of COBWEB

outputs.
