	Open Geospatial Consortium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Open Geospatial Consortium, or OGC, is an international voluntary consensus standards organization.
		In the OGC, more than 280 commercial, governmental, nonprofit and research organisations worldwide, collaborate in an open consensus process encouraging development and implementation of standards for geospatial content and services, GIS data processing and exchange.
		The OGC abstract specification is being progressively replaced by volumes from the ISO 19100 series under development by this committee.

	Open GIS Consortium becomes Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.
		At the same time OGC embraces the need to respond to the open systems and interoperability needs of business, government, academic and consumer users to rapidly exploit and benefit from the geospatially relevant data available today.
		The mission of the OGC remains the same: to create interoperability for new areas of need, while opening doors for new sectors to benefit from what has been accomplished in its 10 year history.
		The OGC is an international voluntary consensus standards organization of more than 250 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geoprocessing interface specifications.

		Open GIS is the full integration of geospatial data into mainstream information technology.
		OGC was founded in 1994 as a not-for-profit membership organization for the purpose of addressing the lack on interoperability among GIS systems and between these systems and mainstream computing systems.
		An acronym for GIS Interoperability Project Stimulating the Industry in Europe, the project's goals are to stimulate European GI communities' involvement in the worldwide Open GIS specification process and thus increase the European GIS industry's competitiveness.
