Engineering Reports
Engineering Reports are created as deliverables in the OGC Innovation Program to describe the work and results of interoperability initiatives. OGC Engineering Reports are not standards and should not be referenced as required or mandatory technology in procurements. However, the discussions in these documents could very well lead to the definition of OGC standards.
