" summary

OGC recommends five steps: identify relevant standards, implement or deploy certified products, integrate with third-party catalogs, promote implementations, and influence future versions via GitHub issues, testbeds and code sprints. The geospatial market is >$100B and grows ~9% to $200B by 2032. Standards published include OGC API Features, OGC API Tiles, OGC API Processes and the newly released OGC API Maps, all distributed as OpenAPI and AsyncAPI definitions; adopters include ESA, British Geological Survey, US NWS, Met Office, ECMWF and USGS.
