OGC’s membership is drawn from key players in the geospatial sector, including major institutions (NASA, ESA), leading commercial software developers (ESRI, Intergraph) and users.
Spot Image is regularly involved in OGC initiatives and has already implemented and tested a number of Web services, including a Web Coverage Server (WCS) and a Web Map Server (WMS).
For example, SPOT imagery was posted on the WCS to support local relief teams after the tsunami in Southeast Asia, in response to requests from the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters.
Other services such as access to Spot Image’s online catalogue and multisatellite tasking have also been developed and integrated in data portal projects. The most striking example is ESA’s HMA project to develop an Earth-observation data portal for GMES based on OGC standards.
