This project is completed and the final report has been published by IPIECA. \u00a0 The resport has also been approved as an OGC Best Practice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This report provides recommended practice for GIS\/mapping in support of oil spill response and for the use of GIS technology and geospatial information in forming a \u201cCommon Operating Picture\u201d to support management of the response.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Project Objectives<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This OGC project supports OGP<\/a> and IPIECA<\/a> to develop a recommended practice for GIS\/Mapping in support of oil spill response and for the use of GIS technology and geo-information in forming a Common Operating Picture (COP) for management of the response.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Background<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Responding to an oil spill requires access and understanding of many types of information. What is needed is a common picture of reality for different organizations that have different views of the spill so that they all have to deal with it collectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Through a OGP\/IPIECA Joint Industry Process, a recommended practice in forming a \u201cCommon Operating Picture\u201d to support management of the response.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Approach<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

OGC assists members in understanding how an interoperability framework or architecture based on open standards can best fit their business needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

OGC is supporting OGP and OPEICA using a three step approach:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
