52°North is actively connecting OGC APIs with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) methodologies. By unlocking the capabilities of deterministic, well-curated, and auditable workflows within modern GeoAI frameworks, this effort makes geospatial expertise more accessible to both human users and AI agents. Key ongoing initiatives include:
- velocityAdapt: An AI system that designs workflows from natural language queries to enrich an urban digital twin.
- OGC’s OSPD Provenance Project: An initiative focused on provenance within geospatial standards.
