The world is a map, and mapping tells a story about the world around us. The development and use of geospatial information is critical to building that map and building out those stories. We are pleased to have OGC’s CEO Nadine Alameh join us to discuss how OGC is improving the world of geospatial for their members. OGC was created 29 years ago to ensure there are standards for geospatial data and technologies that improve collaboration and data sharing. OGC hosts the largest formal geospatial community of experts, and the only forum where industry, government and academia. The dynamics have shifted so much in the last few years alone where geospatial is not in a bubble anymore, and "location" is everywhere. OGC also started a dialog on ethics and responsible use of geospatial information. OGC has been dealing with big data, historical data, forecasting, modeling & simulation, integration of multidisciplinary data, you name it!
