The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is in the process of ratifying Apple’s Indoor Mapping Data Format (IMDF) as a Community Standard. OGC Members Autodesk, Esri, Google, New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DOITT), Ordnance Survey Limited, and Safe Software support the submission and welcome public comment ahead of the voting period for the Work Item Justification on March 17, 2020. Apple designed IMDF to deliver indoor maps for thousands of airports and shopping centers around the world, making it possible for users of the Maps app to find their way indoors and discover places to shop and eat. IMDF provides a mobile-friendly, compact, and human-readable data model for any indoor space, providing a basis for orientation, navigation, and discovery. www.ogc.org
