<H3>OGC calls for comment on candidate Moving Feature Encoding standard</H3>
<P>Contact: info@opengeospatial.org</P>
<P>24 July 2014 – The OGC seeks public comment on a candidate OGC® Moving
Feature Encoding Standard. Part I of this candidate standard provides a standard
way of encoding moving feature data in an XML encoding in the form of an OGC
Geography Markup Language (GML) application schema. Part II provides a standard
way of encoding moving feature data in a simple CSV (comma-separated value)
format.</P>
<P>The candidate OGC® Moving Feature Encoding Standard is available at <A
href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/124?utm_source=emailcampaign310&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=HTMLemail&utm_campaign=OGC+calls+for+comment+on+candidate+Moving+Feature+Encoding+standard">http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/124</A>.
Comments are due by 23 August 2014.</P>
<P>The advance of mobile computing and internet-connected sensors (including
sensors and GPS transponders in cell phones and notebook computers) brings with
it a rapid rise in applications for moving feature data, typically representing
vehicles or pedestrians. Many innovative moving feature applications will
require the overlay and integration of moving feature data from different
sources. Examples can easily be imagined for disaster risk management, traffic
information services, security services, navigation for robots, aviation or
maritime traffic monitoring, and wildlife tracking and conservation. Most
current applications, however, are limited to single-source moving feature
data.</P>
<P>More efficient moving feature data exchange will result in a requirement for
massive data handling. The CSV style encoding provides an efficient and easily
understood standard for encoding lightweight data records, which will be
important for many applications involving large data volumes and real-time
response. The GML application schema style encoding for Moving Features provides
for the encoding of more complex spatial information.</P>
<P>This standard addresses only “rigid” moving features, such as vehicles, as
opposed to those that deform, such as flood water, and it does not address
moving features whose descriptions contain other moving features that must be
updated as the feature moves, such as control surfaces on an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV). It also is for archived Moving Feature data only, and not for
live feeds from sensors.</P>
<P>The OGC is an international consortium of more than 475 companies, government
agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus
process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC standards
support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and
location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC standards empower technology
developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful
with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled. Visit the OGC
