OGC Members Bring Interoperability To GeoTec Event.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers GeoTec Event 2004 WAYLAND, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2004 Today's technologies do not live in a vacuum. Government, business, academia and the public demand that the information technologies we depend on work together effectively to enable information sharing See data conferencing. . Members of the Open GIS Consortium (OGC OGC Office of Government Commerce (UK government) OGC Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. OGC Office of the General Counsel OGC Open GIS Consortium, Inc. ) will demonstrate how that can happen using OpenGIS(R) Interface Specifications at the GeoTec Event 2004 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada March 28-31, 2004. OGC members will demonstrate how their products take advantage of OGC interfaces to optimize discovery, access, integration and application of geospatial information and applications on servers accessible via the Internet. Vendors will illustrate a range of OpenGIS Specifications, including Web Map Service (WMS WMS Warehouse Management System WMS Web Map Service (open geospatial consortium specification) WMS West Middle School (Rochester Hills, MI) WMS Workforce Management Software WMS Wechsler Memory Scale ), Web Feature Service (WFS WFS Wegfahrsperre (German: drive away blocking system) WFS Web Feature Service WFS World Future Society WFS World Food Summit WFS Wave Front Sensor WFS Wolfram Syndrome WFS Wire Feed Speed (welding) ), Coordinate Transformation See:
GML Greek Mythology Link (website) GML Generalized Markup Language ) Specifications. Cadcorp, Inc., Galdos Systems, GeoConnections, Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions, MapInfo, Safe Software and other vendors will illustrate the ability of users to share data and applications across distributed networks, varying processing platforms and vendor brands. Conference attendees are encouraged to visit each of the participating vendors for a chance to win software prizes including copies of Cadcorp SIS Map Manager V6, and MapInfo Professional. Attendees are also invited to workshops and presentations on interoperability topics. Highlights include a workshop titled "Introduction to GML" and papers including "Building an OGC-based GIS Solution - Architecture and Demonstration," "Web-based Economic Analysis Mapping Using a Remote OGC-WMS Server" and "3D GSN GSN Game Show Network GSN GCOS Surface Network GSN Gelsolin GSN Global Seismic Network GSN Government Security News GSN Gigabyte System Network (CERN) GSN GPRS Support Node (3GPP) 3D Client: An OGC 3D Browser for Geospatial Data Visualization." There will also be a panel discussion on "OGC Interoperability through Oracle Database Toolkits." Several vendors will also be showcasing OpenGIS implementations in the Vendor Seminar sessions. OGC is an international industry consortium of more than 250 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface specifications. OpenGIS Specifications support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. The specifications empower technology developers to make complex spatial information and services accessible and useful with all kinds of applications.
