All, FYI, this looks pretty relevant especially given that NASA AIST is also doing testbed activities in Geospatial and other areas (Big Data) with ESIP.

On October 14th, the >Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) ><http://mail.opengeospatial.org/lists/lt.php?id=fR4BSFFSDxheVQld> will >demonstrate the results of the eleventh OGC Interoperability Testbed. The >demonstration is being organized by the OGC North American Forum. The US >Geological Survey (USGS) is hosting the event, which will take place > from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon at the USGS Auditorium in Reston, Virginia. >The >OGC North American Forum (NAF) ><http://mail.opengeospatial.org/lists/lt.php?id=fR4CBxlWBl0aWwZcCg>, a >group of 53 OGC members in North America, addresses OGC standards >requirements, OGC program coordination, outreach and education needs of >government, academic, research and industry organizations in Canada, US >and Mexico. > The NAF provides a coordination mechanism to prioritize North American >geospatial and location specific interoperability requirements and work >towards incorporating these requirements into the OGC standards process. >In December 2014 the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) >released a Policy Fact Sheet titled "Harnessing Climate Data to Boost >Ecosystem & Water Resilience." The Fact Sheet notes OGC’s commitment to >increase open access to climate change > information using open standards. Testbed 11, sponsored by an >international group of government agencies, is mentioned in the OSTP >document. >Testbed 11 supports national climate-change preparedness by focusing on >ways in which open standards support cross-community interoperability, >urban-climate resilience (preparation for impacts of climate change), and >secure exchange of spatial information > in the context of the US National Information Exchange Model NIEM. >Nine Testbed 11 sponsors documented interoperability requirements and >objectives for this activity. Thirty organizations selected to >participate in Testbed 11 then developed solutions based on the sponsors’ >use cases, requirements and scenarios described > in a >Call for Proposals ><http://mail.opengeospatial.org/lists/lt.php?id=fR4CABlWBl0aWwZcCg>. >Participants’ solutions implement existing OGC standards as well as >prototypes of possible interface and encoding candidate standards. Some >of the prototypes may ultimately become OGC standards, revisions to >existing OGC standards, or > best practices for using OGC standards. >Testbed 11 Sponsors include: > >* European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL) >* Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) >* National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) >* National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) >* UAE Ministry of Interior Abu Dhabi Police GIS Center for Security (UAE >ADP-GIS SC) > >* UK Defense Science and Technology Lab (UK-DSTL) >* US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) >* US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) >* US Geological Survey (USGS) > >Testbed participants tied numerous sponsor requirements together within >the Flood / Climate Change scenarios to demonstrate interoperable >solutions to meet these goals: > >* Advance OGC Architecture with respect to REST and SOAP design patterns >for synchronization of geodata across data stores, as well as storage and >synchronization of geodata in GeoPackages; > >* Evaluate approaches to JSON and GeoJSON encodings as well as vector >data and image streaming in the OGC standards framework; > >* Integrate high-resolution simulation models into geospatial >infrastructures using the OGC Web Processing Service; > >* Advance use of Linked Data and semantic enabling of OGC Web Services, >with a special focus on Hydrographic Data; > >* Advance use of OGC Catalog Services; >* Advance use of spatially-enabled Social Media data; >* Advance use of a common symbology that can be used to share common >operational pictures in an international environment; > >* Advance compliance tests for the OGC Web Feature Service and Catalog >3.0 Service interface standards; > >* In Aviation, advance a Digital Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) validation >service and enrichment service and advance use of Aviation Feature Schema >(AFX). Also develop guidance on using geometrical constraints in the >Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules > (SBVR) (an Object Management Group standard). > >Those testbed goals sort into these technology threads: > >* Urban-Climate Resilience (UCR) Thread >* Cross-Community Interoperability (CCI) Thread >* Aviation Thread >* Geospatial Enhancements for NIEM (Geo4NIEM) Thread > >The demo results have enormous potential for the testbed stakeholders – >both technology users and the technology providers – and for the world at >large. The return on the shared investment in spatial standards far >exceeds the costs, not unlike the return > on the original shared investments in http and html. >Some of the Testbed 11 sponsors have already begun assembling >interoperability requirements for Testbed 12, which will begin in the >fall. The sponsors and the OGC invite other organizations to bring their >requirements into the discussion. >If you want to learn more about the upcoming Testbed 11 demo and/or the >upcoming Testbed 12 opportunity, please contact Lew Leinenweber, Director >Interoperability Programs (lleinenweber [at]opengeospatial.org). >Learn more ><http://mail.opengeospatial.org/lists/lt.php?id=fR4CAhlWBl0aWwZcCg> about >the 15 year old OGC Interoperability Program in which OGC testbeds, pilot >projects and interoperability experiments are organized, planned and >managed. >Join the OGC North American Forum!
