OGC

Open Geospatial Consortium

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international voluntary consensus standards organization founded in 1994. OGC develops open, consensus-based standards for geospatial content and services, GIS data processing, and geospatial data sharing. Major OGC standards include Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Geographic Mark-up Language (GML), Sensor Observation Service (SOS), and the OGC API family (Features, Tiles, Records, Environmental Data Retrieval). Member organizations include national mapping agencies, defense organizations, and major technology vendors.

IndustrySyntax OGC identifiers are digit-leading: '<yy>-<nnn>[<revision>]'. The year is 2 digits, the number is 3 digits (zero-padded), and the optional revision suffix is the lowercased token including its separator letter: 'r1', 'c1', 'a', 'r3a', 'r12a'. The leading 'OGC ' publisher token is added only when with_publisher=true (default is bare). Website →
