Abstract
The Open GIS Consortium (OGC) is a consensus-based association of public and private sector organizations dedicated to the creation and management of an industry-wide architecture for interoperable geoprocessing. It has a different perspective on interoperability from that of most technology developers and users because its focus is on user-centered business and purchasing models based on interoperable geoprocessing. OGC is driven by business needs and opportunities, and provides a forum for conducting rational industry planning processes
