Overview of the OGC


OGC ®

The OGC Mission

• To serve as a global forum for the collaboration of

developers and users of spatial data products and

services, and to advance the development of

international standards for geospatial

interoperability.

A bit on OGC Standards


OGC ®

OGC Standards are

•Publicly and freely available on a

royalty free, non-discriminatory basis


OGC ®

An evolution

• 2d – Simple Features, Web Mapping Service

• 3D – Geography Markup Language and CityGML

• 4D – WaterML – water observations, time series (2012)

• 5D – Meteorology, Hydrology requirements (ongoing)


OGC ®

Key OGC Web Service Geospatial Standards

20 Copyright © 2012, Open Geospatial Consortium

OGC ®


OGC Sensor Web Enablement Standards

Enable discovery and tasking of sensor assets, and the access and

application of sensor observations

OGC ®

OGC Encoding Standards

• Geography Markup Language(GML)

– XML grammar to express geographical features. GML serves as a

modeling language for geographic systems as well as an open

interchange format for geographic transactions on the Internet

• KML

– XML notation for expressing geographic annotation and visualization

within Internet-based, two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional

Earth browsers

• Observations and Measurements (O&M)

– Defines a conceptual schema encoding for observations, and for

features involved in sampling when making observations

Collaboration Example: 3D Info Management

• Facilitating the definition and development of interface and

encoding standards that enable development of solutions

that allow infrastructure owners, builders, emergency

responders, community planners, and the traveling public

to better manage and navigate complex built environments.

• CAD-GIS-BIM Integration

OGC ®


Hydrology

• Define an information model that enables sharing of water

data on a global basis and then encode as an XML/GML

application schema.

OGC ®

Just formed new Energy and Utilities Domain Working Group

• The purpose of the OGC Energy and Utilities DWG

is to provide an open forum for work on energy

and utility related geospatial data interoperability

issues.
