This membership signifies a commitment to enhancing collaboration and innovation within the geospatial community.

The OGC is recognised for its role in promoting Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) location information. With over 550 members from various sectors, including industry, government, and academia, the consortium fosters a collaborative environment aimed at addressing interoperability challenges and advancing geospatial technologies. Through its consensus-based approach, OGC facilitates the creation of standards that support effective decision-making and innovation across diverse domains.

By joining the OGC, the AIR Centre will engage with a network of experts and contribute to the ongoing development of standards that enhance the usability and sharing of geospatial data. This partnership is expected to drive forward the AIR Centre's mission in the geospatial field, aligning with global efforts to standardize and improve location-based services.
