geospatial technologies initiative outcomes are detailed in public reports and other deliverables these are not approved standards documents outputs from completed cosi initiatives other publications we produce several other types of reports that can be referred to in understanding issues of interoperability these are not approved standards documents other publications knowledge learning from introductory content to developer resources we are committed to delivering the learning needed to work with code and implement ogc standards choose from these available learning resources ogc api workshop learn how to use modern ogc apis for the discovery access visualization and processing of geospatial data location innovation academy learn how to make the most out of geospatial platforms and how to integrate geospatial data and services some modules are available in english and spanish policies procedures we institute and follow a set of policies and procedures to fulfil our remit publishing ogc s methodology for doing business in the interest of transparency and trust policies procedures common definitions we work to standardize the language of the geospatial industry ogc s registry for accessible identifiers of names and basic ontologies for the web ogc rainbow is an online vocabulary developed to foster a common understanding of concepts defined either by ogc or by communities that ask us to host them on their behalf and in the ogc schema repository the order types and labels of information that describe geospatial datasets are specified we also maintain a
