Occupation CTO at geospatial standards organization
Introduction I am currently the Chief Technology Officer and an Executive Director of the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC), a non-profit international standards organization with a current membership of 360+ commercial, government, and academic organizations. The OGC provides a consensus forum within which the members collaborate to solve interoperability and standards related problems for the both geospatial community as well as users of geospatial content and technology in the broader IT sector. Within this context, I also participates in and collaborates with other standards organizations, including OASIS, the IETF, ISO TC 211, IEEE 1451 and recently the GeoRSS collaboration.
