«Think Local - Act Global» Why engagement in international standards development is important A Nordic Perspective The Nordic way to International standardization Olaf Magnus Østensen Chair of Norway
SOSI The national standard for data description and exchange Introduced in 1986 Made it possible to exchange data between different systems Defines around 40 different themes reference and thematic Has been developed and extended simultaneously with upcoming demands and general development Ensures a common reference for an adaptation to international standards 2
The road from national requirements to global solutions SOSI start 1982 CEN/TC 287 start 1992 and OGC start 1994
Norway participates in
