| OGC Points of Interest (POI) Conceptual Model Standard 1.0 | 1.0 | 21-049 | IS |
The Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Points of Interest (POI) activity focuses on developing a standard model for representing point-of-interest data that can be used across various applications and platforms. This standard aims to facilitate interoperability and enhance the ability to share, discover, and use POI data effectively. It addresses the representation of geographical locations along with associated metadata, such as names, descriptions, categories, and related multimedia elements. The POI standard is designed to support a wide range of applications, including navigation systems, location-based services, and geospatial information systems, by providing a unified approach to handling diverse POI information.
Members of the public can review draft standards and share feedback to ensure they are practical and widely applicable.
