OGC India
04/05/2021
The Open Geospatial Consortium(OGC) is an open international consortium of many corporations, government agencies, non-government organizations, and universities, coordinates collaborative development and marketing of open geoprocessing technologies. Its role in promotion of standardization, interoperability and innovation has already been proven for more than two decades. More importantly, the innovation program under OGC has spurred innovation and capacity building among universities and academic institutions across the globe. The ability to experiment with new technologies and standards is a platform that has been an integral part of the OGC journey. OGC innovations, standards, and thought leadership are truly global. In order to better support the different regions that use OGC standards, the Consortium encourages the creation of regional and national forums that address the particular needs and requirements of the respective regions/ countries. The India Forum was chartered in 2009, to provide government, academic, research and industry organizations in India with opportunities to learn about and discuss issues related to OGC’s Innovation Program and Tech Trends activity. The Forum seeks to promote Innovation and create synergy between the various producers and users of geographic information as well as products and services, in India and global markets served by Indian companies. OGC India forum has organized many meetings in the past but contributions to the overall objectives of innovation, standards and thought leadership in the forum and the global OGC community are mostly awaited. This document outlines an effort to substantially raise the role of Academia in OGC India through a group of work-packages so as to realize specific objectives in a time bound manner over the next three years.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
