Australian and New Zealand has played a key role in this testbed.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>LISAsoft, Landgate, Landcare Research and CSIRO extended a Web
Processing Service client to address testbed scenarios for supporting
standardised algorithm access. Video at: <a

<li>LISAsoft and CSIRO tested and recommended improvements for AIXM,
an Aeronautical profile of Geographic Markup Language (GML). Video at: <a

<li>LISAsoft defined the schema for the upcoming standard for OWS
Context, a standard for storing all layers and other information on a
map in a configuration file.</li>
</ul>
<br>
OGC testbeds, pilot projects and interoperability experiments are part
of OGC's Interoperability Program, a global, hands-on collaborative
prototyping program designed to rapidly develop, test and deliver
proven candidate specifications into OGC's Specification Program, where
they are formalized for public release.<br>
<br>
The recently concluded testbed for OGC Web Services (OWS-7) covered:
interoperability architectures, enhancements to existing and candidate
standards for sensors, video change detection, database
synchronization, information cataloguing, web processing services,
event architecture and aviation.<br>
<br>
The OGC® is an international consortium of more than 395 companies,
government agencies, research organizations, and universities
participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available
geospatial standards. OGC Standards empower technology developers to
make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any
application that needs to be geospatially enabled.<br>
