Work with experts to develop standards and build, test, and refine the technologies that make geospatial systems work together. Build the Next Standard Every standard starts with a problem no single organization can solve alone. Bring yours to a Domain Working Group , help develop the response in a Standards Working Group , and create the shared, reusable foundations that developers, organizations, and increasingly machines can build on. Bring a Problem Every standard starts with a real-world challenge. Domain Working Groups (DWGs) are where members raise the problems only a community can solve together. Build & Develop Standards Working Groups (SWGs) turn that problem into a standard—developing the specification, testing approaches, and building consensus around a shared solution. Candidate standards get tested in the real world through Apply—our Testbeds and Pilots program—before final adoption. Browse the full library of adopted standards, from legacy foundations like WMS and GML to the latest OGC API family. Standards Roadmap See what’s in development and what’s coming next.

Domain Working Groups Find the group already working on your problem, or start a new one. Standards Working Groups Join the technical work of drafting and voting on a standard. Comment on Standards / Open Calls Weigh in before a standard is finalized . Contribute to Standards However deep you want to go, from commenting to co-authoring. Built a product on an OGC standard ? Compliance testing proves it — and gives customers and partners confidence your implementation actually works the way the standard says it should. Build Better Together Some ideas are easier to develop with code than conversation. Join a Builder Day to prototype, test, and refine emerging specifications alongside the people building them—then bring what you learn back into the standards process.
