OGC Common DataBase Volume 2 Appendices. Version 1.0.0.

Abstract

The full CDB specification, in its current, industry-maintained format and version, addresses the interoperability challenge of full plug-and-play interoperability and re-use of synthetic environment databases used for high fidelity simulation and mission rehearsal. The first CDB specification was developed under a competitive contract awarded to CAE to meet requirements of the United States Special Operations Command. The CDB Specification was required to be open and non-proprietary as part of the original requirements. The revision history of the industry-maintained specification is contained in the following document sections. The CDB specification was been widely implemented by multiple, independent industry contractors for end-user simulation and mission rehearsal customers in many different countries over a period of ten years.
