Quality of Service and Experience Domain Working Group (QoSE DWG)

The OGC Quality of Service and Experience DWG (QoSE DWG) provides a forum for discussing issues related to Quality of Service and Quality of Experience of Spatial Data Services and applications relying on these services for delivering timely and accurate spatial information to the end users. Key business goals of the Working Group include the following:

• Sharing implementation experience and ideas in evaluating and improving QoS and QoE of Spatial Data Services.
• Creating clear guidance and, if appropriate, agreements on how to communicate QoS levels of the OGC Spatial Data Services, and thus encourage the software providers implement a consistent way to enable machine-readable QoS declarations.
• Collect best practice, create and promote guidance on evaluating and self-assessing the Quality of Experience of Spatial Data Services, and practical means for improving the user experience of these services.
• Identify gaps in the existing standards and guidance related to QoS and QoE of Spatial Data Services, and as appropriate, suggest new standardisation activities within OGC to fill those gaps.
