OGC® and OASIS Announce Progress on Standards Cooperation
Progress on ongoing collaborative efforts was announced today by two international standards consortia, the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) and OASIS (the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). The groups have fostered an active commitment to cooperation since signing a Memorandum of Agreement in 2006.
"OASIS Standards enable a broad set of capabilities, and OGC's standards apply wherever 'where' and 'when' are included," explained Mark Reichardt, President and CEO of the OGC. "For the members of both organizations and for the broader global community of IT developers and users, it's important that the two organizations work together to strengthen open standards-based interoperability."
