Just a quick comment:
The OGC involvement is way broader than the one singled out in the article
below.
See the OGC membership ( search for Australia and Asia Pacific)
Many of these have active participation in different aspects of the OGC.
Thanks,
Martin

Notable examples are Geoscience Australia and the Bureau of Meteorology.
Both have also been working internationally to facilitate improved data
interoperability within open standards bodies such as the Open Geospatial
Consortium, the World Wide Web Consortium and the World Meteorological
Organisation and the United Nations.
The results are a range of spatial data services that are used widely by
many Federal and State Government departments and also widely in industry.
Australia is also continuing the research work into SDI through the
activities of the Cooperative Research Centre - Spatial Information [1].
Work is also progressing to renovate the ASDI through initiatives such as:
- ANZLIC's 'Foundation Spatial Data Framework’ [2]
- '2026 Spatial Industry Transformation and Growth Agenda’ [3]
- National Environmental Infrastructure [4] and notably their National
Principles for Environmental Information.
These activities will have a transformative affect on the availability of
and access to Australian data and should be supported and funded appropriately.

acquisition processes have emphasised "value for money" and "mitigation of
risk". However, in the digital economy, success indicators additionally include
“effectiveness of collaboration”, “sustainability in the face of rapid
innovation” and “resilience to monopolistic behaviours”. We need to consider
these new indicators in our future purchasing guidelines.

to add more feedback this week. (In a nutshell: The response explains Open
Government needs to learn how to collaborate as effectively as Open Source
communities, and what government needs to change to make this happen).
