Open Geospatial Consortium ( OGC )

OGC is an international industry consortium

of 258 companies, government agencies and

universities participating in a consensus

process to develop publicly available

geoprocessing specifications.

OGC Mission

Our core mission is to deliverinterface

specificationsthat are openly available for global use.

Open Geospatial Consortium

Our Vision - a world in which everyone benefits from

geographic information and services made available

across any network, application, or platform.

OGC is an international organization:

with major initiatives and partners in:

North America

Europe

Australia

India

Open Geospatial Consortium ( OGC )

Software components from multiple vendors

interact through consensus / open interfaces

Consensus interfaces enable "one-to-many" interoperability:

“How many one-to-one translations do you need to do before

it becomes apparent that one-to-many is better and less

expensive?” – Sam Bacharach, OGC

Adoption of ISO / CEN Standards

and OGC specifications

“enables recent ascension countries to gain

rapid access to the needed technology, data,

and applications – and to become peer level

members of the European Union sooner”
