So I guess the whole web services and service oriented architecture thrusts are invalid because they are based on industry consensus based standards. And the internet is based on agreement on hundreds of standards. You gonna ask that community for performance statistics. Seems to work pretty well. And your cell phone. No way it would work without standards and interoperability. Oh yes, your car, your appliances, the computer you use to write these emails. You gonna ask all these folks the same set of performance questions you are asking of the OGC?? You gonna go ask W3C, OASIS, OMA, the IETF, the ITU, IEEE, NIST, ANSI, and CEN the same questions?
Come on.

Does anyone from OGC or anyone who deals with them have any publishable
metrics on interoperability performance ? Theory and concept are grand
ideals, but the reality of the situation is, what does the user(s) community
experience. The internet-bubble era maxim still stands, if a user does not
get prompt, first-time, accurate service for a website, that user is gone
and very hard to get back. This goes to the heart of the OGC open standards
initiative to promote the use of the technologies it fosters, but if the
performance is circa 1990 WWW, then why bother ? I would be interested, and
even challenge anyone to make performance metrics available for general
consumption on various scenarios of OGC-certified technology. I am talking
bits n bytes folks, network latency, refresh rates, network parameters, test
data used (raster/vector), analytical vs. static interaction. To my
knowledge, there is nothing like this published on OGC website, nor by any
companies involved in OGC standards. Why not ? I cannot believe that anyone
forgets to do this type of testing, so, let's see the results please....
Oh, and I know alot of factors go into these metrics, but something,
anything would be helpful to assess the veracity and efficacy of all this
OGC work, no ?
