OGCs Approach to Advancing Interoperability

•! Interoperability Program (IP) - a global, hands- on rapid prototyping and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and validation, and bring interoperability to the market

Demo & Reports

•! Standards Program – Consensus standards process similar to other Industry consortia, eg, World Wide Web Consortium [W3C]

•! Compliance Program – allows organizations that implement an OGC standard to test their implementations and get OGC certification

•! Marketing and Communications Program – international outreach through education and training, encourage take up of OGC specifications, business development, communications programs

• Global, innovative, collaborative, hands-on engineering and testing program to draft and test and validate specifications for consideration by OGC Technical Committee

• Delivers: – candidate specifications for 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, business cases and funding – Participants work with sponsors to define and refine OGC interface specifications to solve interoperability problems

• Public site – Standards search and download – Organization and outreach – Policies and procedures

• Members’ Portal and Twiki • Standards Dev Support – User access management – Pending documents tracking – Working Group administration – Vote tracking – Project documents management – Standards software test and – Standards adoption workflow bug tracking – Event calendar & resources – Automated certification (telecon, webex hosting) – Community feedback and public change requests
