The landscape of standardards developing organizations - SDOs ”… the nice thing about standards, is that there are so many of them to choose from…” Source: Andrew S. Tanenbaum, and others …? Equally, it can be said – there are so many SDOs, who’s who in this landscape? OGC ®

A high-level classification – the landscape Domain related geospatial standards Many, like IHO, DGIWG, WMO, ICAO, but also OGC and ISO/TC 211 Generic geospatial standards ISO/TC 211, OGC, but also others … Basic ICT standards and other cross-discipline standards W 3 C, OASIS, IETF, IEEE, ISO/IEC JTC 1, OMG, etc. OGC ®

New Ripe Issues – 2015 • APIs: – lots of proprietary APIs – is it 1999 all over again? • High Velocity – Big data geospatial, sensor, and location data - real time analytics • Linked data – In particular linking location analysis with social networks • UAVs – Onboard sensors, navigation, processing OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

® What is an OGC Standard? Scott Simmons, Executive Director Standards Program Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

What is an OGC Standard? A document, established by consensus and approved by the OGC Membership, that provides rules and guidelines, aimed at the optimum degree of interoperability in a given context. • Community requirements • Member requirements • Market trends • Technology trends OGC City. GML Levels of Detail ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

The Technical Committee (TC) • Where the formal standards development consensus discussion and approval process occurs. • Comprised of a number of Domain Working Groups (DWGs) and Standards Working Groups (SWGs). • Work is guided by the Technical Committee Policies and Procedures OGC ® ✓ Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

Five steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Identify requirement Form a Standards Working Group (SWG) Create the Standard Submit Standard for internal review and public comment OGC members vote to approve Standard OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

1. Identify requirements Operational needs for data consistency or presentation • • NGFCD ESM Portrayal Standard for MGCP Data Various Profiles OGC ® Sponsored Interoperability Experiments and Testbeds Coalition data sharing and data services Commercial business drivers • • Metadata Service interfaces Exchange encodings Processing services OGC Domain Working Group ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

Example: Defense and Intelligence DWG • OGC Defense and Intelligence DWG (D&I DWG) comprises government and industry members – Discussions focused on general defense matters, minor intelligence content – Chaired by NGA and Sat. Cen – Long history of coordination with other SWGs to define and promulgate requirements for OGC standards • Key alliance participants – DGIWG – OASIS (Organizations for Advancement of Structured Information Standards) – USGIF (US Geospatial-Intelligence Foundation) OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

1 a. Requirements from alliance partnerships – DGIWG – Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) – Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) – National Emergency Number Association (NENA) – International Organization for Standards (ISO) – World Wide Web Consortium (W 3 C) – World Meteorological Organization (WMO) – IEEE Technical Committee 9 (Sensor Web) – TM Forum – Open Grid Forum (OGF) – building. SMART Alliance – Web 3 D Consortium OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

1 b. Other sources of requirements • Output from other OGC Standards activity – Current merged efforts of OWS Context and Geo. Package • Existing encoding or service that owner would like to submit to OGC for adoption – KML, proposed Common Data. Base (CDB) • Abandoned work that needs a home – Land. XML >> Infra. GML CDB image courtesy of David Graham, CAE, Inc. OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

2. Form a SWG • Write a charter (clear and precise guidance from OGC) – Find at least 3 charter members – Demonstrate business case • Request Technical Committee (TC) to allow SWG to form I said “SWG” not “swig” OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

3. Create the Standard • • Develop use cases Identify dependencies Work within OGC policy Comply with OGC Abstract Specification and OGC Modular Specification • Invite experts • Perform iterative internal and public reviews • Use collaboration tools! OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

4. Submit Standard for review • OGC review – OGC Architecture Board check for compliance with Abstract and Modular Specifications – OGC Naming Authority for URIs – OGC staff for adherence to policies and Standards template • Public review – Fully-advertised public review of 30 days of draft Standard – Public comments must be reviewed and either incorporated or discarded with cause OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

5. Vote to approve • TC votes to recommend for adoption by Planning Committee (PC) – Standard must be presented to TC in a meeting – TC must vote at that presentation to issue an electronic vote – 45 day electronic vote with minimum thresholds for sufficiency and majority (2/3 majority) • PC votes to adopt Standard – If YES vote from TC, PC vote initiated – 14 day vote via e-mail, simple majority OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

DGIWG Standards activities • DGIWG Web Map Service 1. 3 Profile – Vote closes 14 May 2015; currently 100% YES votes • DGIWG Web Feature Service 2. 0 Profile – Vote closes 14 May 2015; currently 100% YES votes • • • OWS-6 Georeferencable Imagery Engineering Report OWS-5 Engineering Report: GSIP Schema Processing Geo. Package SWG OWS Context SWG Technical Committee voting Active participation in almost every SWG, many DWGs – either in official DGIWG role or representing respective agencies OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

Upcoming OGC activities of interest • Focused effort on more agility in standards creation process – Started in January 2015; briefed in Barcelona in March 2015 • Creation of an implemented-friendly standards document – Work in parallel to agile discussion; expect to see initial results in Boulder in June 2015 • Better engage Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) community – Utilize existing VGI-to-standard product work of OGC members to develop Best Practices; e. g. OSM-to-TRD 4 -to-MDG – Create standards to measure and define VGI content completeness, currency, and accuracy – MUST try to convince the VGI community on the value of Standards OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium

Recognized needs to better serve DGIWG • Standards roadmap – Have currently implemented a simple table; will be expanded to include roadmap of requirements • Next revision to Geo. Package likely to include terrain • Consider building on success of 3 D Portrayal Interoperability Experiment (and evolving standard) for fitfor-purpose portrayal standards – Styled Layer Descriptor and Symbology Encoding Standards have not been updated/visited in many years – Simple profiles of the above standards may not be the right mechanism OGC ® Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium
