OGC Standards refer to a set of guidelines and specifications developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium, an international organization. These standards aim to ensure interoperability among geospatial systems, allowing different software and applications to work together seamlessly. They cover various aspects of geospatial data, including formats, services, and protocols. By adhering to OGC Standards, organizations can improve data sharing and collaboration in fields like mapping, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. This promotes efficiency and innovation, as users can easily integrate and utilize geospatial information from diverse sources without compatibility issues.
