The vision of OpenGISŪ is a world in which everyone
benefits from geographic information and services made available across any
network, application, or platform. Approximately 80% of business and government
information has some reference to location, but until recently the power of
geographic or spatial information and location has been underutilized as a
vital resource for improving economic productivity, decision-making, and
delivery of services. We are an increasingly distributed and mobile society.
Our technologies, services, and information resources must be able to leverage
location, (i.e., my geographic position right now) and the spatial information
that helps us visualize and analyze situations geographically.
Products and services that comply with OGC's open
interface specifications enable users to freely exchange and apply spatial
information, applications and services across networks, different platforms and
products.
