Guiding innovation with open standards.
OGC Standards Roadmap
The OGC Standards Roadmap is a strategic guide that highlights the current, emerging, and future priorities of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Standards Program. It provides an at-a-glance view of standards that are:
- Mature and widely adopted – proven, stable standards that drive interoperability across industries.
- In development – standards actively being advanced by OGC Working Groups and communities.
- On the horizon – exploratory initiatives and research areas that anticipate future needs.
By making the standards process transparent and collaborative, the roadmap helps organizations:
- Plan their technology adoption and integration strategies.
- Align investments with global trends in geospatial innovation.
- Engage early in shaping standards critical to their industries.
The roadmap ensures that OGC members, partners, developers, and policymakers have a shared vision of where open geospatial standards are headed, and how they can contribute to building a more connected and interoperable world.
