The Open Geospatial
Consortium (OGC®) announces an important new set of public
resources for learning about, developing and implementing
interoperable geospatial capabilities. The OGCNetwork "Learn"
page (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/learn)
offers links to
- Courses, journals, and professional papers
- Articles
- Compliance testing information
- Conference presentations by OGC staff and members
- Discussion forums
- Document motions from OGC meetings
- Email discussion lists
- Links to videos
- OGC policy guidance on Lat/Lon axis order
- OGC standards document catalog
- OGC Interoperability Days event information
- Tutorials on developing implementations of OGC standards,
such as the OpenGIS® Web Map (WMS) Service, Web Coverage Service
(WCS), Sensor Observation Service (SOS), and Geography Markup Language
(GML) in JPEG 2000 standards.
The OGC Learn page is interactive. Users are encouraged to post
updates using the comment feature.
The Learn page is part of OGC Network®, a window onto the dynamic,
constantly changing Geospatial Web as described by the OGC Reference
Model (ORM) (http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/orm). OGC Network
supports multiple communities of interest involved in geospatial
interoperability, and it provides examples of working software,
services, and information models (GML profiles, SLD examples, etc.).
From the OGC Network TM site developers and geodata coordinators can
quickly locate OGC-compatible geospatial Web services, the latest XML
schema documents, discussion forums, compliance testing resources, and
GML profile working areas. It provides the latest information on
OGC-compatible software, services, and information models (GML
profiles, Style Layer Descriptor (SLD) examples, etc.).
