Facilitator: Harsha Vardhan Madiraju
Highlights:
The event is organized with a focus on European Data Spaces Strategy: Opportunities for OGC Members. With a growing interest and investment in creating Data Spaces in Europe across numerous themes, integrating geospatial capabilities and increasing geospatial usage across these areas remains the key. The aim of this workshop under the banner of the OGC Europe Forum is to discuss current European developments around Data Spaces and the role of OGC and its partners. The session will look into OGC standards that could be used and the new standards to be considered or developed. Also, the session will look into how OGC and its members actively participate and their interactions with various communities in these data spaces.

Discussion Points at the session:

- What critical aspects can OGC Members, partners, and the Community work and contribute?
- What are the existing standards, and what is the scope for new standards?
- What are the actionable items and plans to integrate geospatial capabilities into the data spaces?
- How do we bring synergies between the OGC member-led working groups and Data Spaces Working groups?
- How are OGC and its Members contributing, and how can they contribute to these aspects?
- What are opportunities available to OGC Members from a commercial point of view?
- What are the expectations from OGC Members and Partners to facilitate the efforts?
