IP Components
Testbed
- A pre-specification activity designed to inform the OGC specification process in areas of needed research and experimentation with
- pre-specification technologies and architectures and
- pre-specification technologies in combination with post-specification ones
Pilots
- A post-specification (or post-testbed) application of (pre-)conformant technologies to a user-specific problem domain intended to provide an operational capability
Infrastructure (opengis.net)
- A distributed and maintained set of reference servers (and supporting databases), reference clients, and reference documents that support both testbed activity and pilots
