Webinars and Virtual Events

The OGC USA Forum brings together thought leaders from across the United States to collaborate and brief out to the world how location information is evolving across the nation. The forum will highlight how organizations are innovating to improve the benefits and quality of geospatial information not just in North America, but across the globe.

Join our community of experts for an upcoming series of webinars highlighting recent achievements and findings across OGC's working groups.  From standards to domain-oriented innovations, the OGC community is actively working to make location information Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). This webinar series will focus on a few of OGC's Domain and Standards working groups as a precursor to our upcoming June Members meeting. Not an OGC member? Join now. 

With the volume of EO data now growing at a rate measured in the order of petabytes, transporting or transferring the data from the data provider(s) out to the end user is no longer feasible.  As such, OGC has been working with the European Space Agency (ESA) to further ESA’s “EO Exploitation Platforms” initiative. This initiative aims at achieving a paradigm shift from “bring the data to the user” (users download data to a local machine or data store) to “bring the user to the data” (move user exploitation to hosted environments with co-located computing and storage). 

This webinar aims to present to EO application developers and EO platform operators the work that has been undertaken by OGC, ESA, and Natural Resources Canada. Implementers will share experiences and lessons learned on how to best exploit Big EO data stores and how to enable externally developed applications as additional services on EO platforms.

This series of workshops - approximately one per day for two weeks - will bring together experts in browser development, Web standards, and Web mapping client tools & applications to explore the potential of standardized maps for the Web. The series will form a virtual meeting of developers, cartographers, policy makers, and other people with a stake in the future of Web standards relating to the display and use of maps on the Web.
