OGC’s Programs for Advancing Interoperability
•  Interoperability Program - a global, innovative,
hands-on rapid prototyping and testing program
designed to unite users and industry in accelerating
interface development and validation, and the delivery of
interoperability to the market.
•  Standards Program - Consensus standards
process similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide
Web Consortium, OMA etc.).
•  Compliance Program - allows organizations that
implement an OGC standard to test their
implementations with the mandatory elements of that
standard
•  Communications and Outreach Program -
education and training, encourage take up of OGC
specifications, business development, communications
programs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 9, 2014
FACT SHEET: Harnessing Climate Data to Boost Ecosystem & Water Resilience
“We're going to have to all work together in the years to come to make sure that we address
the challenge and leave this incredible land embodied to our children and our grandchildren
in at least as good shape as we found it.” – President Barack Obama, Remarks on the
California Drought, February 14, 2014
In March 2014, the Obama Administration launched the Climate Data Initiative, unleashing
troves of open government data about our climate and calling on America’s innovators to
leverage data in ways that can make our Nation’s communities and businesses more
resilient to climate change.
To date, an array of datasets focused on the resilience of our coasts and America’s
agricultural sector have been made available on climate.data.gov and a host of
collaborators across Federal agencies and in the nonprofit, philanthropic, and private
sectors have stepped up, committing to leverage their resources, expertise, and technical
capabilities to turn these data into products and services that can assist people on the
ground.
Today, the Administration is making a new tranche of data about ecosystems and water
resilience available as part of the Climate Data Initiative—including key datasets related
water quality, streamflow, land cover, soils, and biodiversity.
In addition to the datasets being added today to climate.data.gov, the Department of
Interior (DOI) is launching a suite of geospatial mapping tools on ecosystems.data.gov that
will enable users to visualize and overlay datasets related to ecosystems, land use, water,
and wildlife. Together, the data and tools unleashed today will help natural-resource
managers, decision makers, and communities on the front lines of climate change build
resilience to climate impacts and better plan for the future.
To continue momentum under the Climate Data Initiative, the Obama Administration is
today renewing its call to America’s private-sector innovators to leverage open
government data and other resources to build tools that will make U.S. ecosystems and
water resources more resilient to climate change. In response to this call, today’s launch
includes a number of commitments by Federal agencies and private-sector organizations to
combat climate change and support ecosystem and water-resource resilience through data-
driven innovation.
NASA. Climate Resilience Data Challenge. With over $35,000 in prizes, NASA, in
partnership with United States Geological Survey (USGS), will host the Climate Resilience
Data Challenge — an effort to spur data innovation in support of resilience in communities
