	Open Geospatial Consortium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Open Geospatial Consortium, or OGC, is an international voluntary consensus standards organization.
		OGC has a close relationship with ISO/TC 211 (Geographic Information/Geomatics).
		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.
		Already in September 2004 the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) announced it has changed its name to the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. The new name reflects the Consortium's wide scope of work in a broad geospatial marketplace that includes not only geographic information systems (GIS), but also mapping, earth imaging, sensor webs, and mobile wireless services.
		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.

	GIS News: Open GIS Consortium becomes Open Geospatial Consortium
		Open GIS Consortium (OGC) has announced it has changed its name to the Open Geospatial Consortium.
		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.
		Through the work of the OGC membership, users of geospatial technology and content will continue to see growth in the number of standards-based tools available that allow them to think and act spatially.

	Geography Markup Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Geography Markup Language (GML) is the XML grammar defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to express geographical features.
		The OGC is an international voluntary consensus standards organization whose members maintain the Geography Markup Language standard.
		Subsequently, the OGC introduced XML schemas into GML's structure to help connect the various existing geographic databases, whose relational structure XML schemas more easily define.

	An Open Geospatial Consortium - Mark Reichardt By William L. Miller - Military Geospatial Technology
		The OGC was founded in 1994 partly with the support of DoD agencies that needed to address the same kinds of interoperability problems the civil agencies faced.
		Largely because of what is happening in OGC, geospatial information science is advancing most rapidly at the edges where it interfaces with other information science advances, rather than at its center where GIS and remote-sensing algorithms are developed.
		The OGC gives the defense community an opportunity to work with industry on solutions in an environment where they can be supported by the requirements of other communities.

	Cover Pages: OGC Releases GML Simple Features Profile Specification for Review.
		In June 2003 the Consortium announced the adoption of a revised IPR policy which requires all contributors to license technology on a royalty-free basis.
		OGC has decided that the best way to introduce changes to existing structures within GML is to deprecate elements, types, attributes and groups that shall not be used in new applications.
		The OGC candidate specification, "GML simple features profile" is available for downloading [and] comments can be submitted to gmlsf-rfc@opengeospatial.org for a thirty day period ending August 4th, 2005.

	Open Spatial Enterprise Approach Gains Ground - Cadalyst
		The open spatial enterprise concept continues to gain momentum, with data increasingly recognized as an organization's most valuable asset and data sharing as a critical requirement for all applications, report members of OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium).
		The companies have encouraged customers and vendors to maximize the value of their spatial data for making enterprisewide decisions using geospatial technologies and modern application development techniques that are data-centric rather than GIS-centric.
		The companies point to clients worldwide, in particular utility companies and other public agencies, that are sharing maps and other data across departments, allowing them to provide better and more efficient customer service, make faster and better-informed business decisions, and eliminate unwieldy processes that drain money from infrastructure upgrades.

	Survey Seeks Input to Develop Digital Rights Standards for Geospatial Data and Services - Cadalyst
		The Open Geospatial Consortium has launched a DRM (digital rights management)-related project to collect information from governments, businesses, and academia to help shape the development of open standards to manage digital rights for geospatial data and services.
		Geospatial DRM manages all rights, not only the rights applicable to permissions for digital geographic data.
		The current inability to control the flow of such information activities has been a barrier to broader adoption of Web-based geospatial technologies, and some government data has been withheld from public release over the Web because of the inability to manage owner rights after the data is released.

	Open Geospatial Consortium to Explore Using JPEGs to Display Images on the Web - Government Technology
		The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has begun a "GML in JPEG" Interoperability Experiment to test and refine a draft implementation specification that defines how Geography Markup Language is to be used within JPEG 2000 data packages for geographic imagery.
		The Interoperability Experiment will implement several prototype GMLJP2 codecs (data "compressor/decompressor") based on the OGC draft specification, "GML in JPEG 2000 for Geographic Imagery." The purpose is to confirm that the specification will support the requirements of geospatially related imagery over the Internet, and to improve the specification if it does not support these requirements.
