Today, 70% of global energy is consumed in cities
Today, 60-80% of GDP is generated in big cities
By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities

No two cities are the same
No universal solutions
Keep pace with urban development
Keep pace with changing conditions

Benefits: German DIN Study
• Standards promote worldwide trade,
encouraging rationalization, quality assurance
and environmental protection, as well as
improving security and communication.
• Standards have a greater effect on economic
growth than patents or licenses.
• Standards facilitate procurement
• Standards create “Markets”
• "Economic Benefits of Standardization"
• Benefits to German economy of 17 billion Euros in
2010!

Benefits: NIST (USA)
• “…the annual cost of waste
due to inadequate
interoperability among
computer-aided design,
engineering, and software
systems in the construction
industry to be $15.8
billion...”

What is a Standard?

What is a Standard?
• “An agreed way of doing something”
• Standards are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise
in their subject matter and who know the needs of the
organizations they represent – people such as
manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade
associations, users or regulators.
• Standards are knowledge. They are powerful tools that can
help drive innovation and increase productivity. They can
make organizations more successful and people’s
everyday lives easier, safer and healthier.

Types of standards?
• Formal or “De Jure”
• Informal or “De Facto”
• Private

OGC
®
Types of standards?
• “De Jure” (ISO, CEN, DIN, AFNOR, ANSI, …)
– Through National Representation (NSB)
– Types:
• National (NS), European (EN): CEN
• International Standards (IS): ISO

OGC
®
Types of standards?
• “De Facto” (IEEE, SAE, OGC, OASIS, W3C, …)
– Organisation or individual representation
– Consensus process
– In Technical Committees

OGC
®
Types of standards?
• Private
– E.g. ESRI Shape file
• Not based on consensus

OGC
®
Types of standards?
• “De Facto ”and “De Jure” work together
– In the Technical Committees
– For OGC, that is ISO/TC211
– (Fast Track Procedure)

Spatial information is pervasive and primary
• Geography Markup Language (GML)
– the international XML standard for
spatial data on the web.
• CityGML - open data format for the
storage and exchange of virtual 3D city
models and semantics
• IndoorGML - modeling indoor spaces
for navigation purposes.
• LandXML - civil engineering and
survey data for land development and
transportation
• Building Information Models (BIM)
using ISO, BuildingSmart and OGC
standards
