Mobile Location Services Domain Working Group
It’s functions as a comprehensive “umbrella” group, facilitating discussions on a wide array of specifications and technologies within the realm of mobile location services. The group focuses on identifying the technology requirements and solutions pertinent to Location Services, ensuring that the needs of the industry and users are adequately addressed.
Planetary Domain Working Group
It is engaged in a series of key activities aimed at enhancing the handling, processing, and publishing of spatial planetary data within the context of geospatial technology. The DWG updates and aligns OGC standards with evolving scientific requirements for celestial bodies as determined by the planetary science community. This includes ensuring that these standards are relevant and applicable to the study and exploration of planets, satellites, asteroids, Sun, comets, and other celestial bodies within our solar system that can be spatially resolved to have a disk or surface.
Point Cloud Domain Working Group
It is motivated by the fast growing popularity and use of point cloud technology. This includes a number of formats and types such as: laser scans from aerial and terrestrial platforms (e.g., LiDAR), triangulated elevation points, and dense observations from the meteorological community. It advances the management, interoperability, and standardization of point cloud data within the OGC framework.
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.
