Compliance & Interoperability Testing & Evaluation (CITE) is an ongoing initiative of the OGC that develops tests for OGC standards, and makes those tests available for online testing on this web site.

CITE-related work may occur within Interoperability Initiatives (such as OWS-6), or be undertaken completely outside of an official OGC initiative. In fact, OGC strongly encourages those who are able to do just that! We only ask that you notify us of your intent so that we can coordinate these activities to avoid redundant or conflicting work.

OGC is still offering free Trademark licenses for organizations that pass the beta tests developed under OWS-5. Read the Beta Testing page for more information.

OGC welcomes you to this portal resource and encourages you to engage us to any extent possible in helping to make OGC testing even better!
