Contribute to OGC Standards
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) invites experts, organizations, and stakeholders across industries to actively contribute to the development and refinement of global geospatial standards. By participating in the standards process, you can help ensure interoperability, data sharing, and seamless integration across diverse platforms and technologies.
OGC’s collaborative approach empowers participants to share insights, propose changes, and review drafts that align with evolving technological trends, regulatory requirements, and user needs. Contributions can take various forms—submitting change requests, offering requirements, providing comments, or engaging in working group discussions. Every contribution helps enhance the clarity, usability, and global applicability of OGC standards, supporting smarter solutions for location-based services, environmental monitoring, disaster response, transportation, defense, and more.
Join a global community of innovators dedicated to creating open, reliable, and transparent geospatial ecosystems. Your expertise will not only strengthen standards but also accelerate innovation and foster trust across public and private sectors.
