The Natural Resources and Environment WG engages in outreach and dialog with the Natural Resources and Environment information community to demonstrate the value of OGC processes and standards, and to provide a point of input for new requirements. The NRE WWG is in the process of being merged with the Earth Observation (EO) WG.

Current focus of the group includes:

• Sustainable Development
• Development of Application Schemas for Natural Resources and Environment
• Outreach to, and communication with, other individuals and organizations in the NRE information community

The NRE WG has a mailing list, available to OGC members.

Additional tools include:

• A
  Public TWiki site, for collaboration with organizations and individuals who are not yet OGC members, and
• An
  Internal TWiki site, for discussion of standards or other materials not yet available to the general public.
