actually do?

transformations
• all objects have 3D geometry
• rich semantic information
(5 - 75 attributes per object
resulting from combining
different NYC datasets)
• integrated within 1 dataset!

OGC Innovation Statement
In 2014, the OGC Planning Committee endorsed the OGC Innovation Statement:
In order to simplify technical complexity and reduce implementation costs, the OGC strives to
ensure harmonization within the OGC standards baseline. In an unchanging world harmonization
would be easy. However, given the realities of the diversity that comes about due to changing
technology and markets, OGC must address the innovator’s dilemma of maintaining the current
OGC standards baseline while simultaneously developing standards to support evolving and
potentially disruptive technologies, community needs and market trends. The OGC must balance
maintenance, adaptation and evolution of its standards and associated Best Practices in order to
address technology change, market change, and the complexity of collaboration between different
communities.
• To support this challenging environment, OGC:
• • Will encourage harmonization of its standards;
• Will extend or adapt its present standards baseline, or work with its partners to adapt or
extend their standards;
• May advance new standards that overlap with or diverge from existing standards, along with
guidance regarding how to evaluate and select among these options;
• May develop harmonization techniques such as bridging, brokers, or facades to achieve
interoperability within and across communities of interest;
• Will foster an environment that encourages fair consideration of all submissions.

Editor's Notes

  • #2  Denise McKenzie, Executive Director, Communications and Outreach, Open Geospatial Consortium
  • #4 We help agree on how we should share our data We bring together users, technical & policy people to agree on how we share data. Learning, education and sharing, knowledge and experience
  • #7 Mention the recent survey results published on use of indoor mapping technology – In-Location alliance
  • #9 City of Tokyo – 2012
  • #10 Ramani Huria Drone Maps via Web Map Service to England This is your data
  • #13 In terms of the content, it would be interesting to hear how you have to adapt your approach to communication for an international audience. In addition, how brand works for OGC when developing and promoting international standards, touching on the compliance programme. Also worth a slide on the importance of standards for interoperability and how integrated OGC are with things like WMO, INSPIRE, w3c, UN, Europe etc…   I will focus on the journey that OGC has taken in how we support and communicate with an international membership and users of open geospatial standards and how we have changed some of our online tools and processes in recent times in response to our user community.
  • #15 Adapting for an international audience What do we do differently where?
  • #16 Getting rid of OGC Network, Looking more to Stack exchange
  • #19 The Standards of organisations such as the OGC belong to all
