OGC and WfMC Partner to Advance Standards Goals19/06/2008 |
| The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to cooperate in advancing standards-based, interoperable workflow and Web-enabled geospatial content sharing, modelling and visualisation to address the needs of their members. |
|
Anticipated activities include coordination between OGC and WfMC working groups and committees; involvement in interoperability testbeds, pilot initiatives and experiments; and outreach.
The OGC is an international consortium of more than 365 companies, government agencies, research organisations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OpenGIS Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled.
Founded in 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is a global organisation of over 300 adopters, developers, consultants, analysts, and university and research groups engaged in workflow and BPM. The WfMC creates and contributes to process related standards, educates the market on related issues, and is the only standards organization that concentrates purely on process. The WfMC created Wf-XML and XPDL, the leading process definition used today in over 80 known solutions to store and exchange process models.
