OGC Standards already underpin thousands of implementations. They evolve from communities of practice trying to solve challenges like turning massive amounts of image data into photo-realistic 3-D scenes of cities or helping national mapping agencies respond to billions of requests for geospatial data every day.  </p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button is-style-text-arrow"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://www.ogc.org/standards-in-action/">Standards in Action</a></div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="block_420a9bf7a3a5e5d6093ba72c0e864e85" class="grid md:grid-cols-2 block-two-column-content-media"> <div class="block-media aspect-square md:aspect-auto relative"> <img decoding="async" width="2560" height="2560" src="https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-scaled.jpg" class="w-full h-full object-cover clip-corners-tl-br absolute inset-0" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://www.ogc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/shutterstock_1278454753_square-2048x2048.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /> </div> <div class="block-inner px-[--container-padding] is-layout-flow grid place-content-center "> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-blue-color has-text-color has-2-xl-font-size"><strong>The Power of Collaboration</strong><div><em style="box-sizing: inherit;"></em></div></h2> <p>Our members come together to solve the biggest challenges with cutting-edge research across a range of dynamic fields including climate change, disaster resilience, and the Metaverse.
