Usage of OGC standards in Indonesia, Thailand & Malaysia 
[GIS Development, January 2008]
One could say the build-up of SDI happens from two directions, one being the top-down initiatives that are set up on the state level to define National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). Besides, OGC standards are taken up by all kinds of projects that can form the base of the NSDI, this is the bottom-up direction. During last years both directions could be observed in South-East Asia, showing good development chances of SDI. On international level, there are a number of initiatives defining requirements and needs for application of geospatial standards.
This article highlights some observations regarding the uptake of OGC standards in geospatial projects in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Covering such a large area, the article cannot be (and is not intended to be) comprehensive in regard to geospatial projects making use of OGC standards, but rather is a spotlight that shows the trend towards interoperable geospatial web services.
