Australia this first week of december 2010 hosts a meeting of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) in Sydney to discuss developing and implementing new standards for geospatial and location technology.
This week, the OGC will be holding its Technical Committee Meeting in Australia for the first time.
CSIRO scientist Dr David Lemon said the meeting was a great opprtunity for Australia to demonstrate its expertise in the area.
“Scientists at CSIRO have developed a suite of products and tools to design and implement common data exchange formats and content, and we will be holding a master class to share the experience and knowledge we have gained while developing these products for application in geological, hydrological, climate and biodiversity domains,” he said.
The members of the OGC work together to produce standards for spatial encodings and service interfaces that allow spatial information to be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of business, government and consumer applications.

The OGC is an international standards development organisation that aims to make spatial information easily transferable between the geoscience, aviation, meteorology, oceanography and defence sectors.
