Collaborating to Solve Real-World Challenges.

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.

Portrayal Domain Working Group

Portrayal, as defined by the OGC, encompasses the presentation of information to humans, such as through a map, particularly focusing on how data is visually represented on the web. The DWG focused on a comprehensive set of activities aimed at enhancing the coherence and effectiveness of portrayal standards within the geospatial community.

Security Domain Working Group

It is focused on developing a comprehensive security framework to facilitate the interoperable discovery, exchange, and processing of protected geospatial information, utilizing OGC Standards and related technologies . In order to enable protected geospatial information processing and licensing, it is relevant to describe how to handle security related aspects in an interoperable way.

Statistical Domain Working Group

It identifies requirements and use cases of how geospatial and statistical standards can support the integration of geospatial information into the statistical system and for the purposes of broad discovery, analysis, and use. This includes the identification of primary statistical use cases that could be enhanced by OGC standards, pinpointing specific requirements within the statistical domain for potential inclusion in both existing and new OGC standards, and recognizing practice areas within OGC that support or could be shaped by statistical considerations.

Temporal Domain Working Group

It aims to cultivate a consistent and sustainable approach to handling temporal Coordinate Reference Systems (CRSs) across OGC standards. By ensuring the seamless integration of temporal aspects with external standards, the DWG strives to enhance interoperability and accuracy in geospatial information handling.

Uninhabited Systems Domain Working Group

It explores technological and policy issues in the realm of geospatial information and technology specific to unmanned systems. Its mission includes documenting the use of unmanned systems technology in geospatial data collection and identifying geospatial aspects of unmanned systems operations to support the adoption or development of best practices and standards.

University Domain Working Group

It serves as a neutral academic advisory body, coordinating the interests of OGC’s academic and research members and offering technology, policy, standards, and various recommendations across the OGC. The DWG is tasked with aligning the collective interests of academic and research institutions within the consortium.

Urban Digital Twins Domain Working Group

It is dedicated to forging a collective understanding of digital twinning in urban contexts, with the objective of improving the planning, utilization, and policy alignment of urban spaces. This includes addressing critical challenges such as decarbonization and access to green spaces. The DWG tackles data integration within the built environment by seeking the adoption of OGC Standards within the Urban Digital Twins community and leading discussions and the formulation of Best Practices.

Workflow Domain Working Group

It is a forum for describing, discussing and solving any issues related to geospatial workflows. The DWG aims to help individuals and organizations to identify smarter, easier, and more economical ways to build, migrate, manage, and maintain workflows. It advocates for the adoption of workflows that are grounded in established OGC standards and best practices, which can lead to economic benefits through shortened development times and enhanced workflow performance.
