Interoperability allows a Common Reality

“What we are doing is facilitating a common picture of reality for different organizations which have different views of the reality, the disaster, the emergency, the catastrophe, that they all have to deal with collectively”

David SchellOGC Founder and Chairman Emeritus

Address Critical Interoperability Issues

OGC Standards and Programs are address Common Concerns:

"We can't share location data on the Web.”

"We can't deliver data to different systems.”

"We don't have a common language to exchange our geospatial data and services.”

"We can't easily access, process, and integrate data from sensors."

OGC’s Approach for Advancing Interoperability

• Interoperability Program – Rapid prototyping that unites users, research and industry in accelerated specification development and market uptake

• Standards Program – Consensus standards process similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide Web Consortium, OMA etc.)

• Marketing and Communications Program –

education and training, encourage take up of OGC specifications, business development, communications

• Compliance Program - allows organizations to test their implementations of OGC Standards with the mandatory elements of that standard

ISPRS and OGC Partnership

• Geospatial technologies and markets continue to evolve in an increasingly complex world

• ISPRS is devoted to advancement of photogrammetry and remote sensing and their applications.

• OGC is dedicated to developing and promoting the use of geospatial best practices, standards and interoperability

• OGC and ISPRS work jointly in order that research on photogrammetric and remote sensing informs development of open interoperability standards for global benefit.


Current and potential topics of

ISPRS/OGC joint activity

Technical Topics• 3D data and visualization,

e.g., CityGML, IndoorGML• Web Services for remote

Why OGC Standards?User Perspective

• Rapidly mobilize new capabilities

• Lower system lifecycle costs• Encourage market competition

• Choose solutions based on functionality desired

• Avoid “lock in” to a proprietary architecture

• Decision to share information and services becomes a

• decision

“What OGC brings to the table is…everyone has confidence we won’t take advantage of the format or change it in a way that will harm anyone”

Michael Weiss-Malik, Google KML product

manager



DigitalGlobe on Standards and OGC

“Standards-based interoperability is key for improved timeliness for delivering relevant imagery to our users. It just works.”

“These well defined standards enable quick integration into existing and custom workflows and allow mashups with many types of other OGC-delivered geospatial content.

“We deliver FirstLook imagery to the UN entirely via OGC-based services (e.g. WMS, WMTS, WFS, KML)

“In addition to providing imagery to end users, we also work with partners and other vendors to extend valuable geospatial content into their products using OGC services…”

John Lucier, Senior Manager, DigitalGlobe


Interoperability is about Organizations

“Interoperability seems to be about the integration of information.

What it’s really about is the coordination of organizational behavior.”

David SchellOGC Founder and Chairman Emeritus
