What is the OGC?What is the OGC?
• The Open GIS Consortium (OGC)
– Not-for-profit, international consortium
– 220+ industry, government, NGO and university members
• Specification Development Program -similar to other Industry consortia (W3C, OMG, etc.).
• Interoperability Program (IP) - a global, innovative, hands-on engineering and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and bring interoperability to the market.
• Outreach and Community Adoption Program – education and training, encourage take up of OGC interfaces, business development,

A breakthrough – A New Interface A breakthrough – A New Interface Development and Specifications ProcessDevelopment and Specifications Process
Initially..
• OGC and its membership applied a traditional approach for development of standardized interface specifications.
Today..
• Rapid industry prototyping is accelerating specification development and implementation of open systems to meet user requirements• Prototypes result in:
candidate specifications product implementations demonstrated capability

GoalsGoals
• Further the value of GI to SD by building / improving an interoperable infrastructure framework on the African continent– Form a public and private partnership to focus
both sectors on the issues– Create a working, expandable system based on
Standards Based Commercial Off the Shelf Software (SCOTS)

MethodMethod
• Engage the Open GIS Consortium, Inc. (OGC), to rally its 230 members of the industry around the cause– OGC is not-for-profit industry trade association
• Build a framework of existing data resources and enable the real-time sharing and use of those data– Uses “interfaces” designed by OGC– Uses “software” from industry, government, shareware,
open source worlds

The ChallengesThe Challenges
• How do I find and learn to trust geospatial data from other sources?
• How do I minimize the cost of using those data?

Implications and Next StepsImplications and Next Steps
• GISD-Initial Capability Pilot has helped to encourage:– Improved interoperability for existing
infrastructure – Improved readiness of African partners in
SDI– Reinforcement GSDI best practices– Improved ability to discover, access and
integrate geospatial data for sustainable development and other issues

Implications and Next StepsImplications and Next Steps
• Focus on communicating the results and capabilities of this initiative to the broader community– Operationally available– Portal accessible via www.opengis.org/gisd by early
September
• What GSDI (we) can do:– Work to build out of GISD-ICP– Encourage build out in other geographic areas, other
domains– Continue dialog on interoperability issues and needs in
the OGC process
