The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is perhaps the best-known standards body in the lidar world. In this episode, Chief Standards Officer Scott Simmons describes the organization, its structure and processes. We also discuss lidar, especially OGC's work with the LAS and LAZ lidar data formats and the efforts of its Point Cloud Domain Working Group. Our discussion delves further into OGC's interactions with other standards bodies, such as the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and buildingsSMART International. We close with a review of OGC's changing membership and its future directions.
