Goals
Founded on the idea that public data is not truly public if it is not freely accessible, the OMG standard project has several goals:
- To develop an open technical standard for the structuring and sharing of public geodata
- To develop a library of case-studies, documentation and source materials supporting the benefits of making public geodata easily accessible
- To help build and empower a broad community of citizens and government officials working to foster adoption of the standard by their local governments

Famous quotes containing the word goals:
“Let us beware of saying there are laws in nature. There are only necessities: there is no one to command, no one to obey, no one to transgress. When you realize there are no goals or objectives, then you realize, too, that there is no chance: for only in a world of objectives does the word “chance” have any meaning.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals renders the goals themselves despicable.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
