Since the OGC's "value of standards" survey began on 1st November, 208 technology users and technology providers, including both OGC members and non-members, have responded. The OGC Business Value Committee will use a summary of the results to help the OGC better understand the value of the OGC’s open standards and improve its programs. The OGC hopes to have all OGC members and as many non-OGC members as possible to respond to help them better understand the standards landscape.
The survey period ends on 18 December 2011. Anyone involved with geospatial or location data, software and services is encouraged to complete the brief survey. An executive summary will be provided to survey respondents.
Prizes will be awarded at random to three survey respondents. The first person whose name is drawn after the survey has closed will receive an iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi), the second will receive an iPod Touch (8GB, 4th Generation) and the third will receive a set of Bose AE2 headphones.
