The OGC’s standards are enabling a new degree of interoperability within and between the hydrology and meteorology communities. The focus now is to leverage these DWG’s to further advance interoperability solutions to benefit these disciplines, which have increasing importance globally in science, policy and decision support.
The Hydrology Domain Working Group brings together experts from this community of interest to develop and promote standards, interoperability and best practices for improving the way in which water information is described and shared. This working group is to be hosted by the OGC and co-chaired by a representative from the World Meteorological Organisation’s Commission for Hydrology.
The purpose of the OGC Meteorology DWG is to provide an open forum for work on meteorological data interoperability, and a route to publication through OGC’s standards process. The goal is to develop standards that meet the specific needs of the World Meteorological Organization and benefit the world weather, water and climate data users and producers.
The OGC’s current standards are enabling a new degree of interoperability within and between the hydrology and meteorology communities. The focus now is to leverage these working groups to further advance interoperability solutions to benefit these disciplines, which have increasing importance in the world scientifically and politically.
An OGC Domain Working Group provides a forum for discussion of key interoperability requirements and issues, discussion and review of specifications, and presentations on key technology areas relevant tosolving its members’ geospatial interoperability issues.
