USA – The Open Geospatial Consortium has issued a Request for Quotes/Call for Participation for the OGC Web Services, Phase 6 (OWS-6) Interoperability Initiative, a testbed to advance OGC’s open interoperability framework for geospatial capabilities.
The organizations sponsoring OWS-6 seek open standards for their interoperability requirements. After analyzing those requirements, the OGC Interoperability Team recommended to the sponsors that the content of the OWS-6 initiative be organized around the following threads:
- Sensor Web Enablement (SWE)
- Geo Processing Workflow (GPW)
- Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)
- Decision Support Services (DSS)
- Compliance Testing (CITE)
The RFQ/CFP includes details of these threads as well as details of the bidders’ conference, selection process and kickoff. Responses are due by September 5, 2008. If your organization is interested in participating, contact David Arctur at
