Timeline & Milestones for Standards Adoption

The OGC Compliance Roadmap provides a comprehensive, visual timeline of the development and implementation journey for OGC Standards, with a particular focus on the OGC API family. It tracks each standard’s lifecycle—from initial draft and prototype phases to official release, testing, and certification milestones.

This interactive roadmap is designed to offer transparency into how and when specific OGC API standards are expected to reach compliance maturity. It outlines key events such as sprint testing, community feedback sessions, and formal release dates. Stakeholders—including developers, vendors, and government agencies—can use this timeline to align their product development cycles with the anticipated availability of compliance tests and certification options.

By mapping the evolution of each standard, the roadmap supports strategic planning, informed decision-making, and encourages early adoption of interoperable solutions across the geospatial ecosystem.
