CityGML defines a common semantic information model for 3D urban objects and city models that can be used by many different applications – making 3D city models a more cost-effective investment.
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is excited to announce that the OGC Membership has approved the CityGML v3.0 Conceptual Model for adoption as an official OGC Standard. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is excited to announce that the OGC Membership has approved the CityGML v3.0 Conceptual Model for adoption as an official OGC Standard. Since its first publication by OGC in 2008, CityGML has been an open standard used for the storage and exchange of virtual 3D city models. CityGML allows the integration of urban geodata for use across a variety of applications, including urban and landscape planning; Building Information Modeling (BIM); mobile telecommunication; disaster management; 3D cadastre; tourism; vehicle & pedestrian navigation; autonomous driving and driving assistance; facility management, and; energy, traffic and environmental simulations.

The OGC CCS 2022 Pilot will develop a reliable foundation for decision-ready data services for use in all kinds of climate actions. For this purpose, OGC members engaged in this pilot will develop a series of demonstrators that show the exploitation of climate data as part of a standards-based process that starts with raw data from satellites and climate change models and, through several processing and integration steps, produces decision-ready data in support of achieving climate resilience. |

OGC Seeks Public Comment on OGC API – Common – Part 2: Geospatial Data
OGC API – Common – Part 2: Geospatial Data provides a common connection between the API landing page (defined by Part 1) and resource-specific details.
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is seeking public comment on the OGC API – Common – Part 2: Geospatial Data Candidate Standard. The purpose of OGC API – Common – Part 2: Geospatial Data is to provide a common connection between the API landing page and resource-specific details. Comments are due by January 5, 2022.
OGC APIs are OGC’s Building Blocks for Location, and are ushering in a new age for location information on the web by enabling a much simpler, consistent, and familiar way to share and access location information. Through the OGC APIs, the OGC community is improving how location information can be integrated: by any developer, with any other type of information, and into any type of application.
OGC API – Common serves as a foundation upon which all OGC APIs can be built. OGC API – Common – Part 1: Core defines the resources and access mechanisms which are useful for a client seeking to understand the offerings and capabilities of an API. OGC API – Common – Part 2: Geospatial Data builds on Part 1 by providing a common connection between the API landing page and geospatial data collections.
Geospatial data is rarely considered as a single entity. Feature Collections, Coverages, Data Sets, etc. are all aggregations of Spatial or Temporal ‘Things’. It stands to reason that an OGC Web API would also expose its holdings as aggregates of spatial resources. The purpose of the OGC API – Common – Part 2 Standard, then, is to provide a means of organizing these aggregate collections and to define operations for the discovery and selection of individual collections.
