OGC GeoPackage

Summary

This organization develops and maintains an open, standards-based format for transferring geospatial information, known as GeoPackage. The format is designed to be platform-independent and supports various types of geospatial data, including vector features and raster imagery. It allows for direct access and updates to geospatial data without the need for intermediate formats, making it particularly useful for mobile devices in environments with limited connectivity. The organization also provides resources such as software, guidance, and an official test suite for the GeoPackage standard.
