Open Standards for Expanding GeoWeb to IoTOpen Standards for Expanding GeoWeb to IoT

• IoT: multi-technology, multi-vendor environment

– Limited deployment without open, consensus standards

– Build on multiple standards: ITU, ETSI, OMA, OGC, others.

– OGC standards for location, spatial models, sensor webs

• Collaborative development key to consensus adoption and wide use of information technology standards.

– Adaptive to rapidly changing developments in the marketplace.

– Sound engineering foundation and select existing technology.

• OGC testbed process proven for collaborative development

OGC Interoperability ProgramOGC Interoperability Program

• Proven process to rapidly develop, test, validate and

demonstrate new standards based on real world use

cases identified by OGC members

• Effective way for members to quickly align industry to

advance standards to meet priority needs

• Efficient and competitive process, regularly yielding a

high-level of industry participation and cooperation

• Repeatable process – over 30 initiatives successfully

conducted using proven policies and procedure

OGC works with many Standards Development OGC works with many Standards Development OrganizationsOrganizations

• International Organization for Standards (ISO)• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)• Digital Geospatial Information Working Group (DGIWG) • Organization for the Advancement of Structured

Information Standards (OASIS)• Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)• Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)• buildingSMART International / Alliance (bSi / bSa) • IEEE Technical Committee 9 (Sensor Web)• Web3D Consortium• And others…

Potential Standards areas for Geo-IoTPotential Standards areas for Geo-IoT

• Build on IoT standards work: ITU, ETSI, OMA, others.

• OGC standards applicability– Quality location and orientation– Spatial Models for ranges of spaces– Accuracy of semantic relevance– Sensor Web Enablement

• Identify additional specs needed and develop through testbed-based development– Running code wins

Steps for advancing GeoWeb onto IoTSteps for advancing GeoWeb onto IoT

• Define a standards-based “GeoWeb meets IoT” Framework

to spur coordinated application development.

• OGC Specification Working Groups review of Framework

to identify if additional standards are needed.

• Coordination of standards for location, space and time in

IoT with other standards development organizations.

• Conduct “IoT Testbed” using the OGC Interoperability
