OGC Student Spatial App Challenge sponsored by Google
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is challenging students who have
software development skills to create new applications that use OGC
standards in innovative, interesting and fun ways. For example, the
software application can do some or all of the following:
- Mash up data from a variety of existing geospatial Web services that provide location data
- Provide access to new
sources of location data (including, for example, sensors, computer models, webcams, 3D urban models, mobile devices, or
spatial databases) to support innovative applications.
- Provide access to original new Web services that provide processing
capabilities for innovative applications that use new or existing
location data.
The three applicants to the OGC Student Spatial App Challenge that best
satisfy the competition criteria will receive an an award and the
opportunity to have their apps featured on the OGC website and in other
media channels. In addition, the first place winner will:
- Be sponsored by OGC to receive an award in front of the OGC membership at a quarterly OGC Technical Committee meeting.
- Have a dedicated award page on the OGC website featuring the winning application.
- Be cited in an OGC press release acknowledging the award.
- Receive a Nexus Tablet donated by Google.
- Receive, for the student's academic
institution, a two-year OGC
membership or two-year free renewal if the institution is an existing member.
The estimated total value of the prize to be awarded is $1,500 plus
round trip travel to the winner's selected OGC TC meeting.?The OGC Map
