About Event

Join us for a conversation with Matt Hanson about how open tech standards evolve, using the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) as a case study. STAC began as a spec for imagery metadata and grew into an interoperable ecosystem built around a common language for describing geospatial information.

We'll explore how community-driven design and iteration made STAC successful, and how emergent standards enable institutions to align without central control. The conversation draws on the new white paper Emergent Standards: Enabling Collaborations Across Institutions, which traces how small, loosely organized groups developed global standards.
