+The Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest 2009 (CCIP-2009) has been adopted and is managed by the OGC.
 CCIP demonstrates standards based interoperability between geospatial applications based on a Climate Change scenario. It consists of a server with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial applications offering standards based web services. All web services will demonstrate a common dataset, and will be accessed by a range of geospatial client applications installed on client computers.
