Benefits of OGC Standards and ProgramsBenefits of OGC Standards and Programs
– Reduced technology life cycle costs – Through the use of standards based COTS products, users have a better chance to reduce the cost of custom solutions and associated maintenance.
– Rapid Insertion of New Technology –OpenGIS® facilitate an organization’s ability to rapidly mobilize new (and often unanticipated) geospatial technology solutions.
– Introduce requirements for industry action – The OGC consensus process gives user organizations a forum to work legally and directly with industry to encourage cooperative development and alignment of new open standards.
– Improved choice in the marketplace –OGC standards are designed to enable a choice of products that can plug-and-play seamlessly in system or enterprise environments. No single application meets the needs of all users.

The NFIS team had these requirements:
1.The solution had to be vendor neutral.
2.The solution had to have a low cost of entry (funding for the different partners varied widely).
3.The solution had to ensure that intellectual property rights stayed with the agency/government that created the data.
4.The solution, to address low cost of entry, should have an open source option.

The OGC Interoperability ProgramThe OGC Interoperability Program
• Global, innovative, collaborative, hands-on engineering and testing program to draft and test and validate specifications for consideration by OGC Technical Committee
“Technology Incubator” • Delivers:
– candidate specifications into the Specification Development Process
– product implementations that use these candidate standards
– demonstrated capability achieved through comprehensive testing, validation and public demonstrations based on real work business cases.
• Sponsors and Participants work together.
– Sponsors provide requirements, use / business cases and funding
– Participants work with sponsors to define and/or refine OGC interface specifications to solve a given
interoperability problem

OGC Interoperability ProgramOGC Interoperability Program
• A proven process to rapidly develop, test, validate and demonstrate new standards based on real world use cases identified by OGC members
• An effective way for members to quickly align industry to advance standards to meet priority needs
• An efficient and competitive process, often yielding a high level of industry participation and cooperation
• A repeatable process – over 30 initiatives have been successfully conducted using proven policies and procedures
• A mechanism to advance standards that address user community business cases, requirements and priorities.

Roles in Interoperability Program InitiativesRoles in Interoperability Program Initiatives
• Initiative Sponsors (OGC Members) work with a team of OGC staff and technical experts to document interoperability requirements. This process includes the development of an initiative's use cases, vision, technology objectives, and timeline. Sponsors contribute resources – funding, personnel, facilities, etc.
• In response to the sponsor’s requirements, Initiative Participants, mainly technology provider companies, establish specific technical requirements for specification development or enhancement and determine the scope and agenda. Multi-vendor participant teams develop and document the prototype interfaces, encodings etc. and perform other technical tasks.
• OGC staff facilitates the overall process. OGC staff works with the members to: publish Requests for Technology (RFTs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and Calls for Participation (CFPs); manage initiatives; and provide liaison with other industry consortia and de jure standards organizations.

Types of Interoperability Program InitiativesTypes of Interoperability Program Initiatives
• Testbeds provide an environment for fast-paced, multi-vendor collaborative efforts to define, design, develop, and test candidate interface and encoding specifications. These draft specifications are then reviewed, revised, and, potentially, approved in the OGC Specification Program.
• Interoperability Experiments are brief, low overhead, formally structured and approved initiatives led and executed by OGC members to achieve specific technical objectives that further the OGC Technical Baseline.
• Pilot Projects apply and test OpenGIS Specifications in real world applications using standards-based commercial off-the-shelf (SCOTS) products that implement OpenGIS Specifications. Pilot projects are designed to help users understand how to best implement interoperable geoprocessing that meets their requirements for application, spatial data, and geoprocessing service sharing.

Geospatial and AEC Worlds
• The data modeling and data exchange activities of the geospatial community have typically been concerned with the outdoor world.
• There are many important resources and events that occur in the indoor world – the world of Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC)
• The AEC world is very actively developing standards for the semantic modeling of buildings and related activities.
• The OGC Open Web Services CAD/GIS/BIM WG and OWS-4 testbed explored directions for interoperability between the Geospatial and AEC worlds
