Home » OGC Announces Successful Critical Infrastructure Protection Initiative 11.21.2002
The Open GIS Consortium Inc. (OGC)
announced that Phase 1 of its Critical Infrastructure Protection
Initiative (CIPI-1) recently began with a successful kick-off meeting held
in Reston, Virginia. CIPI aims to test the application of interoperable
technology to meet critical infrastructure protection needs for coordination
of geospatial data and services between national, state, provincial, and
other local governments, commercial, and non-government organizations.
One of the overarching goals is the development of a collaborative,
distributed network of critical infrastructure information sources and
services based on open standards and specifications.
CIPI-1 represents the first of a series of pilot projects to help advance
interoperability for critical infrastructure protection and other vital
service needs. CIPI is also an opportunity for vendors, users, and other
interested parties to mutually shape critically needed services,
interfaces and protocols in the context of a hands-on engineering
experience.
