OGC s Approach to Advancing Interoperability! Interoperability Program (IP) - a global, handson rapid prototyping and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and validation, and bring interoperability to the market Demo & Reports! Standards Program Consensus standards process similar to other Industry consortia, eg, World Wide Web Consortium [W3C]! Compliance Program allows organizations that implement an OGC standard to test their implementations and get OGC certification! Marketing and Communications Program international outreach through education and training, encourage take up of OGC specifications, business development, communications programs 3

The OGC Interoperability Program: Technology Incubator Global, innovative, collaborative, hands-on engineering and testing program to draft and test and validate specifications for consideration by OGC Technical Committee Delivers: candidate specifications for the Specification Development Process product implementations that use these candidate standards demonstrated capability achieved through comprehensive testing, validation and public demonstrations based on real work business cases. Sponsors and Participants work together. Sponsors provide requirements, business cases and funding Participants work with sponsors to define and refine OGC interface specifications to solve interoperability problems 7
