OGC Web Services (OWS): XML specifications to extend and "ruggedize" existing and draft OpenGIS standards into a robust and complete interoperability framework for implementing multivendor enterprise -- and enterprise-to-enterprise -- solutions in government and business. Organization: Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). More information: OGC Web Services page on the OGC website (new window).
OpenGIS Location Services (OpenLS): XML specification to define access to the Core Services and Abstract Data Types (ADT) that comprise the GeoMobility Server, an open location services platform. Abstract data types are encoded in XML for Location Services (XLS). XLS is defined as the method for encoding request/response messages and associated abstract data types for the GeoMobility Server. The interfaces allow telecommunications companies, telematics service providers, traditional GIS technology companies, and location-based services (LBS) providers to implement interoperable LBS applications that access multiple content repositories and service frameworks that work across the world's many different wireless networks and devices. Organization: Open GIS Consortium (OGC). More information: OpenLS page on the OGC website (new window).
