The OGC Working Group Webinar Series

Join our community of experts for an upcoming series of webinars highlighting recent achievements and findings across OGC's working groups.  From standards to domain-oriented innovations, the OGC community is actively working to make location information Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).

This webinar series will focus on a few of OGC's Domain and Standards working groups as a precursor to our upcoming June Members meeting. Not an OGC member? Join now. 

Session Information:

Health Domain:
Ajay Gupta, HSR.health
The OGC Health Domain Working Group enables OGC to identify and work with a representative group of market participants in the identification and prioritization of use cases, business and technical requirements that will provide the most significant value, or mitigate the most significant risks in this arena. This presentation will discuss the Health DWG White Paper, including how a Health SDI will advance GeoHealth capabilities; OGC's upcoming efforts to design a Health SDI; and cover the upcoming Health DWG meeting at the June OGC Member Meeting.

GeoPackage:
Jeff Yutzler, Image Matters
June 3. 10am EDT
GeoPackage is an open, standards-based, platform-independent, portable, self-describing, compact, and extensible format for transferring geospatial information. The format has nearly zero limitations and is broadly implemented. During this webinar, OGC’s GeoPackage SWG chair, Jeff Yutzler, will give an update on the status of OGC GeoPackage.

Discrete Global Grid Systems:
Matthew Purss, Pangaea Innovations
Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) bring a fundamental re-thinking of how we reference spatial information to its position on the Earth (or any other portion of space) - one that has been designed for the digital age and for efficient, accurate spatial analysis and processing. It's natively 3D and does away with the need for projections entirely.

Web Mapping Service (WMS)
Joan Masó Pau, Cos4Cloud
One of OGC's most popular standards, OGC Web Mapping Service allows users to dynamically request maps from a server. Every OGC WMS is individually configured and can serve a multitude of different maps, combination of layers, and can optionally even be styled with different cartography. WMS SWG Chair Joan Masó Pau will discuss the latest developments in this popular OGC Standard.
