Collaborative work: early collaboration

• Identify topics as soon as possible to allow OGC and ISO/TC 211 experts participations.
• Identify soon enough which ISO/TC 211 track (fast or not) should be taken.

JAG recommendation for ISO/TC 211 resolution to start a PWI (Stage 0 project).

Identify track

Between Normal, Fast and Adoption.

JAG discussions

Agree on standard name/title

Brand and organization free

For example OGC would not keep “OGC” word as part of a ISO/TC 211 standard name.

Example of OGC API - features => Geospatial API for features

Collaborative work: (normal track)

• Submit NWIP (ISO side), define project length (18, 24, 36 months)
• Submit OGC SWG charter

ISO/TC 211 and OGC.

• OGC to submit the document for an initial 30 day review before going to the stage DIS.

• 30 days ISO/TC 211 review.

JAG to propose a ISO/TC 211 resolution.

Final alignment

OGC approval vote will generally end before ISO ballot. Any edits to the document resulting from the ISO ballot should be incorporated in a corrigendum to the OGC document.

OGC

Draft documents availability

Documents shall be accessible on both sides according to each organization rules (for example, documents shall be available in ISO documents; some ISO members make the DIS text publicly available for comment).

PL

Cross participations of experts

Thanks to ISO/TC 211-OGC category A liaison, experts can participate to ISO/TC 211/WG and OGC SWG

Major step alignment

3 major steps during collaborative works (from ISO and OGC processes):

• NWIP/SWG charter
• CD consultation/public RFC
• DIS ballot/TC adoption

Synchronizing these 3 major steps is important. Trying  to wait to the end of each process step (on each side) before next step/publication is recommended.

NOTE: Length of votes are shorter on OGC side, compared to ISO/TC 211 side. This may be difficult when OGC wants to progress fast. Anticipation is required.
