The OGC Learn page is interactive. Users are encouraged to post updates using the comment feature.

The Learn page is part of OGC Network TM , a window onto the dynamic, constantly changing Geospatial Web as described by the OGC Reference Model (ORM) (http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/orm). OGC Network supports multiple communities of interest involved in geospatial interoperability, and it provides examples of working software, services, and information models (GML profiles, SLD examples, etc.).

From the OGC Network TM  site developers and geodata coordinators can quickly locate OGC-compatible geospatial Web services, the latest XML schema documents, discussion forums, compliance testing resources, and GML profile working areas. It provides the latest information on OGC-compatible software, services, and information models (GML profiles, Style Layer Descriptor (SLD) examples, etc.).
