The ‘open’ issue - value
Mary McRae, OASIS
Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.
In our increasingly connected world
How much is geospatial?
The open geospatial opportunity

Standards make the distribution of geospatial information understandable — not just for government technologists, managers, and decision support analysts, but for all stakeholders, including industry partners.

locating people and saving lives = value

How do we define value?

Josh Lieberman, Traverse Technologies –“ Value from the OGC is enabled not just
because interoperability projects and test beds take place, but because the OGC has made them possible in the first place. Without the OGC they wouldn’t even have happened. ”
Knowledge exchange network
(term borrowed from EuroGeographics)
Ian Painter, Snowflake Software - “ Sponsors get incredible value for money
through access to multiple sets of experts and technologies. It would cost them a lot more in terms of time and money if they were not able to use the OGC process. Participants also benefit from direct feedback for product research. ”
Cost savings through collaboration
Kylie Armstrong , Landgate –
“ When you are delivering spatial web services on behalf of 20 government agencies to more than a 1000 organisations running their own spatial systems, you need standards. Using the internationally recognised OGC and ISO standards for both the architecture and web services has been essential to our success. ”
Tangible measures of return

Intangible measures of return
Locating international displaced personsSupporting poverty alleviation initiatives
Protection from catastrophic loss of records
Protection/enhancement of natural resources
Improved timeliness and quality of data/services
Legal compliance/protection against claims Catalyst for partnerships and information (knowledge) sharing
Value must be measured
Geospatial Enterprise Integration Maturity Model

Travel costs
For every $100 million spent on projects based on proprietary platforms, the same value could have been achieved with $75 million if the projects had been based on open standards.

Strategic Benefits
Plan A - Pursue standards. Commit resources. Transition products. Work with competitors and partners.
Plan B - Continue working in isolation. Keep proprietary control of customers.
