Testbeds provide an opportunity to engage with and lead the latest research on geospatial system design, concept development, and rapid prototyping. They also provide a business opportunity for stakeholders to mutually define, refine, and evolve service interfaces and protocols in the context of hands-on experience and feedback. The solutions developed in Testbeds eventually move into the OGC Standards Program, where they are reviewed, revised, and potentially approved as new international open standards that can reach millions of individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testbed-20&#8217;s Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Testbed-20 will drive innovation at the foundations of geospatial data ecosystems by experimenting with standards-based data formats optimized for current architectures and testing tools that meet today&#8217;s requirements for applications and workflows. Participants will collaborate to create mechanisms that improve <strong>Integrity, Provenance, and Trust (IPT) <\/strong>in geospatial data systems and workflows, transform the standards for <strong>Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) imagery<\/strong>, enhance the usability of <strong>GeoDataCubes<\/strong> and investigate their applications, and explore options for <strong>High-Performance Computing Optimized Formats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sponsors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As sponsors of Testbed-20, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">European Space Agency (ESA)<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.mil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/i-guide.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">i-guide consortium<\/a> help shape the vision for the initiative, provide active guidance of its activities, and support the work of its participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OGC Testbed-20 drives geospatial innovation by advancing interoperability, data integrity, and next-generation standards and technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2073,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":""},"initiative-category":[43],"initiative-tag":[118,66],"class_list":["post-2072","initiatives","type-initiatives","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","initiative-category-initiative","initiative-tag-earth-observation","initiative-tag-ogc-apis"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/initiatives\/2072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/initiatives"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/initiatives"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"initiative-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/initiative-category?post=2072"},{"taxonomy":"initiative-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-ogc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/initiative-tag?post=2072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
