OGC

In early 2009 Spacemetric joined the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.® (OGC) (www.opengeospatial.org), the international industry consortium that leads the development of standards for geospatial and location-based services.

As a Technical Committee member, the company now has an active role in defining, approving and maintaining geospatial standards and best practice.

Taking a role as a voting member of OGC, Spacemetric is almost unique in Scandinavia and is one of a group of fewer than thirty organisations in Europe and only some eighty worldwide with this level of commitment.

Spacemetric has been a dedicated user of OGC standards for several years, starting with its development of a Web Map Service (WMS) interface for the European Space Agency's catalogue of satellite imagery. Today Spacemetric's image management solutions make ever-increasing use of OGC standards.
