Today’s technologies cannot exist in a vacuum. Government, business, academia and the public demand technologies that work together – allowing us to communicate and share information more effectively. Members of the Open GIS Consortium have prepared to show how that can happen using OpenGIS Interface Specifications at
the 26th Annual GITA Conference in San Antonio Texas, March 3-6 and the GeoTec Event in Vancouver, British Columbia, March 16-19. Through local area network (LAN) and dial-up connections, vendors will demonstrate how their products take advantage of OGC interface specifications to optimize discovery, access, integration and application of geospatial information and applications on multiple servers accessible via the Internet. An array of vendors will be on hand to illustrate the ability of users to share data and applications across distributed networks, varying processing platforms and vendor brands.
Sessions at the two conferences will also highlight OGC’s contribution to making geospatial data and services work together. At GITA, a conference seminar titled, “Open GIS-Improving Interoperability” will join papers addressing interoperability issues including, “Designing Open GIS Conformant System Architectures for the Enterprise,”
