A Community standard is an official position of the OGC endorsing a specification or standard developed external to the OGC. A Community standard is considered to be a normative standard by OGC membership and part of the OGC Standards Baseline. OGC Best Practices highlight the practical use of one or more OGC standards within a specific domain or to address particular use cases. Best Practices can describe how the standards are applied against scenarios or define a profile of a standard to tailor that standard to the requirements of a specific community. Prior to 2019, OGC Best Practices also included reference to the use of standards and specifications originating outside the OGC. Schemas for some of these documents can be at the Best Practices Schema Repository
