Programs

Through its Specification Program, Interoperability Program, and Outreach and Community Adoption Program, OGC develops, releases and promotes open standards for spatial processing.

Specification Program:

In the OGC Specification Program the Technical Committee and Planning Committee work in a formal consensus process to arrive at approved (or "adopted") OpenGIS® Specifications. Learn abut the specifications that have been approved so far, and see the lists of products that implement these specifications.

Interoperability Program :

The OGC Interoperability Program is a series of hands-on engineering initiatives to accelerate the development and acceptance of OpenGIS® Specifications. Learn about the different initiatives currently under way, how they are organized, and how you can participate.

OGC Initiatives

• Active Initiatives
• Past Initiatives

Outreach and Adoption Program:

OGC and its members offer resources to help technology developers and users take advantage of OGC's open standards. Technical documents, training materials, test suites, reference implementations and other interoperability resources developed in OGC's Interoperability Initiatives are available on the OGCNetwork. In addition, OGC and its members support publications, workshops, seminars and conferences to help technology developers, integrators and procurement managers introduce OGC plug and play capabilities into their architectures.
