DESCRIPTION:This presentation chronicles the evolution of GeoServer’s com
 pliance with OGC standards\, detailing both past challenges and recent ach
 ievements. GeoServer has long been committed to open standards\, historica
 lly running CITE tests to validate its OGC services. However\, due a build
  server vandalism event\, daily checks for CITE compliance got lost.\n\nTh
 e GeoServer PSC eventually sponsored a new way for running automated tests
 \, which succeeded\, but eventually failed to achieve completion of making
  the test pass again\, and to reinstate checks as a daily\, operational ac
 tivity.\n\nA turning point came during the 2024 OGC API Features sprint\, 
 which served as the catalyst for reinstating CITE test automation\, for OG
 C API Features itself\, along with a couple of other services that did not
  require further work. \n\nRecognizing the importance of standards complia
 nce for users and the broader geospatial community\, the GeoServer team be
 gan adding more more services to the effort\, performing a combination of 
 fixes in the GeoTools and GeoServer projects\, as well as a productive col
 laboration with OGC to fix some issues in the CITE tests themselves.\n\nBy
  leveraging GitHub Actions\, the project now continuously validates compli
 ance across a broad spectrum of supported services—including WMS\, WMTS\
 , WFS\, WCS\, and OGC API Features—and widely used data formats such as 
 GeoTIFF\, GeoPackage\, and KML. These tests are now a key part of the pull
  request workflow\, ensuring that new changes maintain or improve complian
 ce.\n\nFinally\, the presentation outlines the roadmap for achieving re-ce
 rtification\, which includes formal validation with OGC over a well known 
 server\, which might also help GeoServer become a new reference implementa
 tion as well. By re-establishing certification\, GeoServer aims to reinfor
 ce its reputation as a reliable\, standards-compliant platform for geospat
 ial data and visualization services.
