Collaboration with Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

• Participated in the GeoPriv Working group since 2004– www.ietf.org

• OGC Staff participated in the definition, content model, and encodings for the Location Object.– Civic– Geodetic

• The Geodetic (coordinate) encoding is a GML 3.1 application schema.

• Now also specified as a mandatory internet standard for the Next Generation 9-1-1 system

OGC and IETF CollaborationOGC and IETF Collaboration

• Presence Information Data Format (RFC 4119 and subsequent revisions)– The PIDF LO RFC extends PIDF to allow encapsulation of location

information within a presence document.– (PIDF) is a common presence data format for CPP-compliant presence

protocols, allowing presence information to be transferred across CPP-compliant protocol boundaries without modification, with attendant benefits for security and performance.

• Why?– Without this standard, cannot provide sufficient Presence Service– Driving use case was emergency service calls (Enhanced 911)

• GeoPriv Working Group in IETF developed a GML GeoShape Application Schema for use in internet standards.– Approved as OGC Best Practices paper, December 2006

• Now a mandatory requirement for expressing location in a variety of internet standards (SIP, ECRIT, RADIUS).


OGC and NENA –OGC and NENA –US National Emergency Numbering AuthorityUS National Emergency Numbering Authority

• OGC Staff participating in several Next Generation 911 Working groups– NG – 911 is the next generation emergency calling and dispatch

architecture (known as i3)– Designed to work with both landlines and the mobile, wireless world.

• PIDF-LO a key internet standard that is mandatory to implement

• The Data Modeling Working Group defined a GIS interchange data mode. The encoding is GML 3.2.1

• Another working group has specified Web Feature Service (WFS) as the mandatory interface for accessing feature data using the GIS model encoding.

• They are now interesting in OGC Geosync work



Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)

• First collaborated with the mobile standards community in 2001 – Location Interoperability Forum (LIF)

• OGC Staff and Member organizations collaborated on Mobile Location Platform API (MLP). Uses GML 2.2 for all geometry and coordinate reference systems. Approved as OMA standard in 2004. Now in revision. They wish to upgrade to GML 3.2

• OMA has a new Mobile Augmented Reality working group. OGC has been asked to collaborate. OGC provided report on OGC AR related activities to OMA in Early November 2011.



Other activitiesOther activities

• IEEE (Smart Sensor) 1451 Uses a GML Point Profile

• US National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) schemas reference a range of OGC standards.

• BuildingSmart leverages OGC GML to support the translation of Building Information Models for use in geospatial applications.

Energy and Utilities Domain Working GroupEnergy and Utilities Domain Working Group

• Formalized by OGC June 2012

• Established to address the geospatial needs of the Energy and Utility Industry

• Smart Grid standards are a subset of the group’s focus

• Interoperability among external organizations - emergency response, weather, social and health conditions



E&U DWG – Current Utility Challenges E&U DWG – Current Utility Challenges

• GIS systems and data provide mission critical information across the utility enterprise.

• Over time, custom processes and interfaces have been put in place to meet the data and information needs of disparate systems used by functionally oriented departments

• Migration to next generation Geospatial systems has created an opportunity to identify interoperability challenges.

• Once identified, these requirements may be met by existing standards that are currently in place.

• Where standards are not in place, the opportunity exists to consider coordinated effort across utilities in the development of standards that provide a high ROI.



Fundamental ChallengesFundamental Challenges

• Responsiveness in addressing standards requirements and lifecycle maintenance

• Addressing local to regional requirements in a global process

• Interoperability / standards requirements – understanding community Impacts– Policy / legal / program context– Priorities, due dates– Clearly identified authority

• Testing, Validation and Feedback

• Effective and efficient coordination among standards bodies



SummarySummary

• OGC advancing implementation level standards that have benefitted the domestic and international user community

• Industry specific membership and alliances heavily influences OGC national and international standards development and testing programs

• Improved coordination among SDO’s with interdependencies in the Energy and Utilities Industry will be useful in the identification of gaps and overlaps in interoperability requirements and standards definition

• Early, well-defined, and formal articulation of standards requirements in a program, policy and legal context is critical if we are to be responsive
