    *OGC Calls for Participation in Major Innovation Testbed (Testbed 13)*

Contact: info at opengeospatial.org

25 January 2017: The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) invites 
interested organizations to respond to the just released Call for 
Participation (CFP) in the OGC Testbed 13 Interoperability Testbed.

Organizations selected to participate in Testbed 13 will develop 
prototype solutions based on the sponsors’ use cases, requirements and 
scenarios. These are described in detail in the CFP. Participants’ 
prototype solutions will implement existing OGC standards as well as new 
prototype interface and encoding specifications introduced or developed 
in Testbed 13. Prototype specifications may ultimately become official, 
member approved OGC standards, revisions to existing OGC standards, or 
best practices for using OGC standards.

Testbed 13 requirements, use cases, and cost-sharing funding are 
provided testbed Sponsors, which include:

  *

    Airbus Defence and Space

  *

    CGI IT UK Limited

  *

    Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (Dstl)

  *

    DigitalGlobe, Inc.

  *

    European Space Agency (ESA)

  *

    FAA System Operations Airspace and AIM Office

  *

    Natural Resources Canada

  *

    Geonovum

  *

    Ordnance Survey, Great Britain

  *

    US Geological Survey (USGS)

  *

    US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)

  *

    US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

The sponsors’ requirements have been organized into the following 
technical threads:

  *

    Dynamic Source Integration

  *

    Earth Observation Clouds

  *

    Cross Community Interoperability

  *

    Field Operations

  *

    Streaming & 3D Data

  *

    Compliance Testing

OGC testbeds are part of OGC's Interoperability Program, a global, 
hands-on and collaborative prototyping program designed to rapidly 
develop, test, innovate and deliver proven candidate standards into 
OGC's standards program where they are formalized for public release. In 
OGC's Interoperability Initiatives, international teams of technology 
providers work together to solve specific geoprocessing interoperability 
problems posed by the Initiative Sponsors. OGC Interoperability 
Initiatives include testbeds, pilot projects, interoperability 
experiments and interoperability support services – all designed to 
encourage rapid development and mobilization of OGC standards

This leading-edge standards work has enormous potential and value for 
testbed stakeholders – both technology users and technology providers. 
Shared investment in spatial standard prototype solutions brings 
improved sharing and integration of spatial information, which has 
widespread and longstanding value for the Testbed sponsors and for 
society at large. Technology providers gain market exposure, market 
intelligence, and a chance to quickly take advantage of the business 
opportunities that arise with the introduction of new standards and 
associated technical capabilities.

Anyone interested in learning more about this opportunity should contact 
Scott Serich, Director Interoperability Programs 
(techdesk at opengeospatial.org <mailto:techdesk at opengeospatial.org>). See 
www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/programs/ip 
<http://mail.opengeospatial.org/lists/lt.php?id=fR4CAhlXBlQaWwZcCg> for 
more information about the Interoperability Program in which OGC 
testbeds, pilot projects and interoperability experiments are organized, 
planned, and managed.

Responses for the CFP are due by 17 February 2017.

*About the OGC*

The OGC is an international consortium of more than 525 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 website
