The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is a global consortium of over 500 organizations focused on improving the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of location information through open standards. OGC API standards enhance geospatial interoperability for web APIs, allowing developers to build compliant implementations through a defined process. The consortium facilitates certification for compliant products, showcases innovation, and provides resources for members to effectively utilize geospatial data.
