The Growth of the OGC • Over 385+ members worldwide – 38 countries & 6 continents • Broad participation in other standards organizations – ISO TC 211, IETF, OASIS, IEEE, CEN 287, building. SMART, OGF • Twenty eight approved, publicly and freely available standards • Numerous candidate standards in progress – Key areas of interoperability focus are web services, location services, Geo Digital Rights Management, mass market, and Sensor Webs/networks • The OGC Reference Model defines interoperability framework • Rapidly growing list of implementations Copyright © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically 4

OGC Standards and profiles • Range from light weight, simple encodings and protocols, such as Geo. RSS (www. georss. org) to support for complex modeling applications (Web Processing Service) • Are Vendor Neutral • Are application neutral • Are content neutral • Grounded in an abstract model Copyright © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

• It was interesting to note that electricity demand varies greatly in response to price depending on geography, customer density, and customer type. – David Carrier, Ph. D. – University of Notre Dame Copyright © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

Open architecture for Smart and Interoperable networks in Risk management based on Insitu Sensors • OSIRIS is a Sixth Framework Programme Integrated Project of the European Commission, aligned with GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security). OSIRIS provides a Service Oriented Architecture based on standards, especially relying on and improving the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE). This architecture provides functionality ranging from in‐situ earth observation to user applications. Copyright © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

OSIRIS Application Objectives • Within OSIRIS four key areas of major environmental risk are investigated: – forest fires: early detection of forest fires and efficient handling of the crisis situation if a fire occurs – industrial risks: more reliable fire detection by combining various sensor types and thus especially reducing the number of false alarms – unexpected fresh water pollution: sensor networks for detecting natural arsenic concentration as well as accidental hydrocarbon pollutions – air pollution in urban areas: using mobile as well as fixed sensors linked to simulation models for assessing the air quality • http: //tws 01. terranovaws. it/osiris/doc/Invitation_OSIRIS_Works hop. pdf Copyright © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium Helping the World to Communicate Geographically
