Luis Bermudez discusses the importance of geospatial integration and open standards in information systems, likening them to basketball players in their success which relies on technique and speed. He emphasizes the benefits of open standards, including preventing monopolization, reducing costs, and fostering innovation. The document encourages engagement in open source communities and stresses the need for collaboration to enhance geospatial data access and representation.

- 27. Be open Standards, ideas, software, etc. are like parachutes: they might work best when they're open. Luis Bermudez OGC
- 28. Why Open Standards? • Prevents a single, self-interested party from controlling a standard • Lower systems and life cycle costs • Encourage market competition • Choose based on functionality desired • Avoid “lock in” to a proprietary architecture • Stimulates innovation beyond the standard by companies that seek to differentiate themselves.
- 29. Why Google KML became an open standard? • “What OGC brings to the table is… • everyone has confidence we won’t take advantage of the format or change it in a way that will harm anyone... • Governments like to say they can publish to OGC KML instead of Google KML “ Michael Weiss-Malik, Google KML product manager
