Geospatial Temporal Open Standards for Big Data from Space (BiDS2014)George Percivall
Presentation to ESA Big Data From Space (BiDS2014), November 2014.
Big data from space requires processing large amounts of data in a distributed environment. For efficient, quality and cost-effective deployment, these environments must be based on open standards. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) open standards for geospatial-temporal information have been tuned through implementations to meet the needs of big data.
Presentation to for the ISPRS Congress 2012, Melbourne
Over the last decade, standards have played a key role in the expansion of the market for Earth Observation (EO) products and services. Standards become increasingly important as geospatial technologies and markets continue to evolve in an increasingly complex technology ecosystem. OGC and ISPRS work jointly to further the development of this vital information industry.
We continue to see global growth in the supply of geometrically controlled image-based geodata. On the data supplier side, most end-use EO information products use data from multiple EO sources (aerial and satellite) as well as from ground-based sources. On the customer side, customers’ business models involving EO data require easy connections between multiple data suppliers and multiple technology platforms. Typically, new markets create stovepiped, proprietary solutions that persist until market forces create demand for standards that in turn enhance market opportunity. The OGC’s standards meet this demand in the geospatial markets.
OGC leads worldwide in the creation and establishment of standards that allow geospatial content and services to be seamlessly integrated into business and civic processes, the spatial web and enterprise computing. OGC accelerates market assimilation of interoperability research through collaborative consortium processes.
OGC has both domain focused and technology focused activities. For example, the Meteorology & Oceanography Domain Working Group ensures that OGC standards and profiles allow the meteorological community to develop effective interoperability for web services and content across the wider geospatial domain. These needs are met for example by the technology of standards such as netCDF which was brought into the OGC to encourage broader international use and greater interoperability among clients and servers interchanging data in binary form.
Most OGC standards specify open interfaces or encodings that apply to imagery. Some of these are:
o Web Coverage Service (WCS)
o Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS)
o Web Map Service (WMS)
o Geography Markup Language (GML)
o GML in JPEG 2000 Encoding
o OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF)
o Sensor Observation Service (SOS)
o Sensor Planning Service (SPS)
o Sensor Model Language Encoding Standard (SensorML).
o Catalogue Service for the WEB (CSW)
2012 Emerging Tech, OGC Standards, Mobile Platforms, and the Internet of Thin...GIS in the Rockies
Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the preferred platform for geospatial technology access and use. Mobile technology and market forces are shaping the mobile internet, of which mobile GIS is a component. A convergence of mobile technology, bandwidth, sensors, real time data access, standards, and user demand is creating a rich environment for forward thinking in geospatial standards development. In response, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has a number of standards activities focused on the requirements of the mobile geospatial/GIS community. This presentation will provide an overview of the most recent standards work in the OGC related to the mobile internet. This work includes development of ARML (Augmented Reality Markup Language), InDoorGML (model and encoding for semantically rich indoor/building content), Open GeoSMS (location enabled SMS), and the Sensor Web for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Invited talk on Open Grid Forum standards, focusing specifically on the current status of the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI), given at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology Cloud Computing Forum and Workshop VIII, July 7-10, 2015.
Talk given at ISC Cloud'13: HPC and Manufacturing Meet Cloud, held 23-24 Sep 2013 in Heidelberg, Germany.

Innovation in Geospatial Technology and StandardsGeorge Percivall
All predictions are wrong; some are useful. This presentation offers a slate of geospatial trends developed in discussion with the OGC Board of Directors and expanded in an OGC blog series. These geospatial technology issues were developed by reviewing over 200 articles from geospatial publications as well as from information technology journals (IEEE, ACM, etc.).
These "Ripe Issues" of geospatial technology identify areas where further development of open standards can lead to great benefit:
* The Power of Location
* Internet of Things
* Mobile Development
* Indoor Frontier
* Cartographers of the future
* Big Processing of GeoData
* Smart Cities
The OGC is an international consortium where members participate in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC has a history of developing anticipatory standards. OGC is a leader in achieving a consensus balanced with innovation where OGC members actively designing the standard while implementing running software. In the role of OGC Chief Engineer, George Percivall identifies technology and market trends relevant to open standards development.
