One strength of FOSS4G is the ability to support open standards, yet the standards process is a mystery to many. Two experts discuss recent developments in ISO and OGC standards and how one longstanding OSGeo project plans to implement these improvements.
This talk, presented by two people with decades of experience developing and implementing open standards and open-source software, will illustrate the symbiotic relationship between open standards and open source software. The first presenter is an OGC chair of both the recently launched GeoDCAT standards working group and the Metadata and Catalogues domain working group, as well as a member of the recently launched ISO TC 211 work to develop the technical review of 19115-4, a JSON encoding of 19115-1. The second presenter founded the OSGeo GeoNetwork opensource project and will discuss recent developments in GeoNetwork to implement these standards to benefit users.
