**OGC publishes Testbed 10 Cross-Community Interoperability
Engineering Reports**

Contact: info at opengeospatial.org

23 July 2014 - 24 public Engineering Reports resulted from the Open
Geospatial Consortium's (OGC®) recently completed OGC
Interoperability Testbed 10 (OWS-10)
<http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/initiatives/ows-10?utm_source=emailcampaign307&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=textemail&utm_campaign=OGC+publishes+Testbed+10+Cross-Community+Interoperability+Engineering+Reports>
, the most recent in the OGC's yearly series of major geospatial
interoperability testbeds. Six of these reports focused on
Cross-Community Interoperability (CCI).

Use cases and scenarios provided by Testbed 10 sponsors defined the
interoperability requirements. The Engineering Reports document the
interoperability solutions developed by the testbed's technology
provider participants. The reports describe work in progress on
potential new standards and work done to validate candidate standards
or to improve adopted standards. This information will be useful to
implementors of OGC standards who are working on cross-community
communication of location information in a broad range of application
domains. OGC Engineering Reports do not, however, represent official
OGC positions.

The six CCI Engineering reports document ways to increase Geospatial
community interoperability in the areas of semantic mediation,
volunteered geographic information (VGI), provenance and data quality,
and Global Gazetteer. Much of this work in Testbed 10 built on work
done in Testbed 9 (OWS-9).

The OGC Public Engineering Reports
<http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/per?utm_source=emailcampaign307&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=textemail&utm_campaign=OGC+publishes+Testbed+10+Cross-Community+Interoperability+Engineering+Reports>
web page provides links to the reports. (Select “Date” in the
table header to see the most recent reports listed first.) Some are
still being edited and have not yet been posted.

The Testbed 10 CCI reports include:

 OGC TESTBED 10 CCI Hydro Model Interoperability Engineering Report
(14-048)
 OGC TESTBED 10 CCI Ontology Engineering Report (14-049)
 OGC TESTBED 10 CCI Profile Interoperability Engineering Report
(14-021r2)
 OGC TESTBED 10 CCI Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)
Engineering Report (14-016)
 OGC TESTBED 10 CCI Virtual Global Gazetteer Engineering Report
(14-029r2)
 OGC TESTBED 10 Provenance Engineering Report (14-001)

This summary provides an example of the content of a CCI Engineering
Report: Integration of data created using different naming schemas was
one of the important themes in the CCI activity. The CCI Ontology
Engineering Report reports on activities in Testbed 10 that were
focused on semantic mediation approaches for data discovery, access
and use of heterogeneous data models and heterogeneous metadata
models. In particular, participants explored the creation of domain
ontologies and tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographic
data provided voluntarily by individuals. The related CCI Virtual
Global Gazetteer Engineering Report discusses the creation of domain
ontologies and tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographic
data provided voluntarily by individuals.

Summaries of all the Testbed 10 Engineering Reports are available on
the OGC Interoperability Testbed 10 (OWS-10) web page

.

The sponsors of the upcoming OGC Testbed 11 testbed activity
<http://www.opengeospatial.org/pressroom/pressreleases/2018?utm_source=emailcampaign307&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=textemail&utm_campaign=OGC+publishes+Testbed+10+Cross-Community+Interoperability+Engineering+Reports>
are reviewing the results of Testbed 10 and developing new sets of
interoperability requirements to be addressed by Testbed 11's
participating technology providers. OGC Testbed 11 requirements will
undoubtedly include additional Cross-Community Interoperability
requirements.

to learn more about OGC Testbed 11 and how you might get involved as a
sponsor or technology provider participant.

The OGC is an international consortium of more than 475 companies,
government agencies, research organizations, and universities
participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available
geospatial standards. OGC 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. Visit the OGC
