Vectorworks, Inc. has announced its official membership in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), a global resource for geospatial information and standards.
As a technical member, Vectorworks will offer its experience and expertise in connecting BIM and GIS workflows to the OGC.
"Joining the OGC is a milestone that not only shows our commitment to standards for BIM and location data, but also demonstrates how we’re continually progressing to advocate for the needs and standards of the AEC and landscape industries," said Vectorworks CEO Dr. Biplab Sarkar.
Through their member-driven consensus process, OGC serves as the leading authority on geospatial standards, ensuring that location information is findable, accessible, integrable and reusable. Vectorworks global architecture, landscape architecture and planning customer-base, along with the use of geospatial data across BIM and BIM for landscape workflows, are leading priorities for the company. As such, together with the OGC, Vectorworks will participate in discussions that ensure interoperability of geospatial data within design and BIM projects.
