Why OGC APIs?

They make geospatial data easier to access, share, and integrate, like IKEA for maps! 🌐 We say standards = interoperability.

CREAF co-coordinates ILAF OGC to support Spanish & Portuguese communities in this transition.

During the annual meeting of the Iberian Conference on Spatial Data Infrastructures #JIIDE25, our team explored:

✅ Latest MiraMon updates
✅ Why OGC APIs matter for sharing geospatial data
✅ The importance of metadata and tools like GeM+

These trends are shaping the next generation of GIS.

We’ve been developing MiraMon for 30 years, a free, full-featured GIS that rivals #QGIS and #ArcGIS.

🛰️ It supports #remotesensing, #cartography, and #metadata management, making it a powerful tool for researchers and professionals worldwide.

#GIS helps us visualize, store, and analyze data tied to a location.

But where is this #technology headed? 🧵
