List of Domain Working Groups

Domain Working Groups (DWGs) cover 10 broad domains: Aviation, Built Environment & 3D, Business Intelligence, Defense & Intelligence, Emergency Response and Disaster Management, Energy & Utilities, Geosciences & Environment, Government and Spatial Data Infrastructure, Mobile Internet & Location Services, Sensor Webs, University & Research. By default, a DWG will allow public collaboration. Only public DWGs are listed here and Chairs are omitted.

If you cannot find the DWG you are looking for or would like more information, please get in touch with us.

Data Quality Domain Working Group

It is a forum for describing an interoperable framework or model for OGC quality measures and services to enable access and sharing of high quality geospatial information, improve data analysis, and ultimately influence policy decisions.

Defense and Intelligence Domain Working Group

It provides a forum for the defense and intelligence community to exchange information on geospatial requirements, standards, and compliance to facilitate the development and implementation of commercial software solutions.

Discrete Global Grid Systems Domain Working Group

It is a forum for the discussion of requirements and use cases for standards and the registration of implementations related to Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS). The working group is a forum for broad discussion of DGGS topics and research activities that are of relevance to various geospatial communities and that may potentially impact on existing, or new, geospatial standards.

Earth Observation Exploitation Platform Domain Working Group

It is concerned with technology and technology policy issues, focusing on geospatial data, information and technology interests as related to that Earth Observation (EO) Exploitation Platform domain and the means by which those issues are appropriately factored into the OGC standards development process.

Emergency and Disaster Management Domain Working Group

It aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in all phases of emergency and disaster management. The DWG mission is to foster interoperable geospatial products and other information that can be shared across different communities involved in emergency and disaster activities.

Geo for Metaverse Domain Working Group

It concentrates on pivotal activities that will shape the integration of geospatial standards within the burgeoning Metaverse. Its agenda includes compiling and evaluating a comprehensive list of existing standards from OGC and beyond that are pertinent to the Metaverse’s infrastructure.

Geoscience Domain Working Group

It is a joint working group of The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI) and the OGC. It provides an open forum for work on GeoScience data interoperability and access surrounding GeoScience, particularly representation and more generally acknowledgment of the Earth: Geology, Geophysics, Hydrogeology, Mineralogy, Seismology, Tomography, or Volcanology.

Geosemantics Domain Working Group

It has a broad scope that encompasses the facets of conceptual modeling and the formal representation of geospatial knowledge, key to advancing the interoperability mission of the OGC.

Health Domain Working Group

It is poised to address critical interoperability requirements to bolster health surveillance and response capabilities. By harnessing open mapping standards, the DWG aims to facilitate access to a distributed network of geospatial data, relevant to diseases, their vectors, and populations at risk. The DWG also concentrates on supporting cross-border surveillance for health risks, modeling and response initiatives, and advancing best practices for the visualization of chronic and infectious diseases, alongside pertinent environmental and socioeconomic data.
