Australian and New Zealand has played a key role in this testbed.

    * LISAsoft, Landgate, Landcare Research and CSIRO extended a Web
      Processing Service client to address testbed scenarios for
      supporting standardised algorithm access. Video at:

    * LISAsoft and CSIRO tested and recommended improvements for AIXM,
      an Aeronautical profile of Geographic Markup Language (GML). Video

    * 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.


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.

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.

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.
