Standards Working Groups
Standards Working Groups consist of OGC members. They consider revisions to existing OGC Standards and bring new ones forward for adoption.

three types of standard
- Encoding standards provide rules that determine how to organize information, typically sent by a service provider, or produced by an application.
- Interface Standards provide rules that determine the operations between service providers and service requesters. Together, these standards define interoperable approaches to geospatial data organization, access, processing, visualization, and discovery.
- Conceptual Model Standards describe common concepts and their relationships to facilitate exchange of information between parties within a specific domain..

Standards are dynamic: They evolve as technology changes and are retired when they’re no longer in use. For example, OGC’s Web Service Implementation Standards have evolved into modern web APIs. OGC APIs make it easy for anyone to leverage geospatial information on the web and to integrate it with other types of data.
We chart the development of each Standard through a roadmap that offers both a Status View and a Gantt view.
Open Calls and Requests
Members of the public can review draft standards and share feedback to ensure they are practical and widely applicable.
