Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
The Open Geospatial Consortium is the standards body for geospatial interoperability — a member-funded consortium founded in 1994 and headquartered in the United States, with 362 member organizations plus 159 individual members across government, commercial, academic and non-profit sectors. OGC wrote the web-mapping layer the public sector has run on for two decades — WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS and CSW, the OWS suite — and is now replacing it with the OGC API family: a set of resource-oriented, OpenAPI-described standards sharing a common core, of which eleven are approved (Features, Common, EDR, Tiles, Processes, Maps, Moving Features, Records, Connected Systems, DGGS and SensorThings) and seven more are in draft. Its API posture is genuinely open where it counts and closed where most standards bodies are: every adopted standard is a free download, the schemas and OpenAPI documents are served anonymously from schemas.opengis.net, and drafting happens in public on GitHub across 361 repositories — while portal.ogc.org, where Technical Committee documents, votes and delegate rosters live, returns HTTP 401 to the public. OGC runs a compliance and certification programme (CITE) and publishes its active member roster as a CSV, which is unusual and makes the coalition measurable. The distinction this repo keeps is that OGC publishes SPECIFICATIONS, not services: the contracts here have templated servers and describe what a conformant implementation must offer, so they must never be read as a callable API.
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) publishes 38 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Capabilities API, Collection API, and 36 more. Tagged areas include OGC, OGC API, Geospatial, GIS, and Standards.
