Exponential growth in data, but… However, data has little value if it can’t be easily discovered, assessed, accessed, aggregated, combined, passed from system to system, etc. We get lots of data from an explosion of sensors, satellites, citizens, models, etc. OGC ® Copyright © 2016 Open Geospatial Consortium

Why are Standards important? • A light bulb fits a socket • Individuals can withdraw money from their bank accounts through any ATM anywhere in the world • Mobile phones work across multiple countries around the world • Latitude and Longitude provide a standard reference system for the Earth • GPS coordinates are always provided in the same format http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/LED_lamp OGC ® Copyright © 2016 Open Geospatial Consortium

Get involved • Don’t be passive, be part of standards innovation • This is not just about the big guys fighting it out – standards are ultimately chosen by a consumer • Ask for your solutions to be “open” standards compliant • As you build your solutions – do so in partnership with Standards organisations OGC ®
