some standards have been developed in the industry (e.g., Keyhole Markup
Language (KML) by Keyhole Inc., which Google later acquired), they later became
international standards of the OGC, which now encompasses more than 450

Another interesting use case for open-source standards is community/citizen
science. An early example of this approach is OpenStreetMap
(https://www.openstreetmap.org), which allows users to contribute to the
project development with code and data and freely use the maps and other
related geospatial datasets. But this example is not unique. Overall, this
approach has grown in the last 20 years and has been adopted in many different
fields. It has many benefits for both the research field that harnesses the
energy of non-scientist members of the community to engage with scientific
data, as well as to the community members themselves who can draw both
knowledge and pride in their participation in the scientific endeavor. It is
also recognized that unique broader benefits are accrued from this mode of
scientific research, through the inclusion of perspectives and data that would
not otherwise be included. To make data accessible to community scientists, and
to make the data collected by community scientists accessible to professional
