Research in Action
COSI drives the adoption of OGC standards by showcasing the power of interoperability across sectors.
As an OGC member, you get to take part in cutting-edge research.
COSI Initiatives research the use OGC standards to address today’s global challenges: disaster resilience, marine spatial data infrastructures, smart cities and indoor mapping, to name a few. Some of our recently completed initiatives include:
- Mapping landslide, flood and pandemic impacts in Peru’s Rimac and Piura River basins.
- Assessing the effectiveness of the OGC API — Records standard in managing Arctic resources, exploring the use of navigational data and standards for improved coastal resilience in the Caribbean and creating 3D views of coastal inundation in Singapore.
- Developing a standardized health data model and SDI to improve early warning, response, and recovery efforts in future health emergencies.
Ongoing areas of research are listed below.
