International standard "OGC® moving features" to address "4Vs" on locational bigdata

Applications utilizing many types of location data, such as traffic congestion estimation and facility management using indoor pedestrian tracks, have been rapidly increasing. Such applications require the integration of various locational data from different data sources to produce more values. Efforts to ensure smoother data exchange are required for promoting the use of such applications because handling and integrating location data will enlarge the market for geo-spatial information. In response to this need, we had proposed a data encoding standard called ‘OGC R © Moving Features’ to contribute to smoother data exchange, and it was adopted as an international standard on Feb. 2015. We demonstrate in this work that OGC R © Moving Features is an effective tool to advance technologies for applications using many types of location data, with referring “4Vs” to represent the most pressing bigdata issues.
