A precursor paper (also available as an OGC White Paper) provides a high-level overview of and architecture for the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards activities that focus on sensors, sensor networks, and a concept called the “Sensor Web”. This OGC focus area is known as Sensor Web Enablement (SWE). For readers interested in greater technical and architecture details, please download a...

BACKGROUND Several immunosuppressive therapeutic regimens are widely used to treat Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), including oral glucocorticoids (OGC), intravenous glucocorticoids (IVGC), retrobulbar injections of glucocorticoids (ROGC) and orbital radiotherapy (OR). The priority among these is unknown. This meta-analysis investigated the efficacy and tolerability of the above regimens. METHODS...

This paper discusses a research project that integrates OGC and Grid technologies for making NASA EOSDIS data easily accessible to Earth science modeling and applications communities. OGC web service technology is developed for providing interoperable access and services of geospatial data. The built-in OGC geospatial services include subsetting, resampling, georectification, reprojection, refo...

Geoscience data are typically big data, and they are distributed in various agencies and individuals worldwide. Efficient data sharing and interoperability are important for managing and applying geoscience data. The OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) is an open interoperability standard for supporting the discovery of geospatial data. In the past, regular OGC ...

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has conducted much work in the past on event-based models and architectures. However, the current OGC standard baseline only supports synchronous web service capabilities, which have insofar primarily addressed the request/reply model, where a client makes a request and the server usually responds synchronously, with either the requested information or a fai...

BACKGROUND Because of the inherent immunosuppression of cancer patients opportunistic infections by Candida spp, occur frequently. This study aimed to identify Candida species in the oral mucosa of 59 patients with orogastric cancer (OGC) and to analyze the immunological phenotype of these patients. METHODS The yeasts were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS). For all isolates, we p...

Out of all the different types of neoplasms affecting the stomach, gastric carcinomas with Osteoclast-like Giant Cells (OGC) is one of the most uncommon. Although OGC are typically found in osseous neoplasms and tumors of the tendon sheath, few cases of extra-skeletal neoplasms with OGC have been documented. These typically involve organs such as the pancreas, gall-bladder, kidney, and breast. ...

A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Status of This Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace that is engineered by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for naming ...

We identified MISC-1 (Mitochondrial Solute Carrier) as the C. elegans orthologue of mammalian OGC (2-oxoglutarate carrier). OGC was originally identified for its ability to transfer α-ketoglutarate across the inner mitochondrial membrane. However, we found that MISC-1 and OGC are not solely involved in metabolic control. Our data show that these orthologous proteins participate in phylogenetica...
