Voyager's Support for Industry and Open Standards

Voyager is designed to operate within a wide range of technical environments by supporting both industry standards and open standards. This ensures compatibility with widely used systems and data types while also enabling open, standards-based interoperability that promotes long-term scalability and collaboration.

Industry Standards and Open Standards

  • Industry Standards are widely adopted formats, APIs, and services that are commonly used across sectors. These may be proprietary, but they’ve become standard due to broad usage in areas like geospatial data management, enterprise content systems, and cloud services. Voyager connects seamlessly with such systems to help organizations preserve existing workflows and infrastructure investments.

  • Open Standards are publicly available specifications developed by recognized standards bodies like the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the International Standards Organization (ISO). These standards ensure data interoperability and accessibility across platforms, vendors, and domains.

Voyager supports both categories to offer flexible deployment options, making it easier for organizations to unify and search across complex data environments.

Examples of Our Support

Industry Standards

Voyager is compatible with a variety of commonly used industry technologies:

  • Connects to web services, file systems, and APIs across public and private cloud environments

  • Supports popular data formats and metadata conventions used across government, defense, energy, environmental science, and more

  • Enables integration with commercial GIS platforms and enterprise content systems

Open Standards

Voyager provides robust support for open geospatial and search standards:

OGC Standards:

  • Web Feature Service (WFS)

  • Web Map Service (WMS)

  • Catalog Services for the Web (CSW)

  • SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC)

  • GeoRSS, GML, WKT

Search Standards:

  • OpenSearch and OpenSearch Geo for spatially enabled search experiences

Commitment to Open Source

We are proud to be an active member of the open source community — both as a contributor and as a consumer. Voyager uses a number of open source libraries to support its data ingestion and indexing capabilities, including technologies that allow us to connect to over 2,000 different file formats. Our platform is built on top of Solr/Lucene, leveraging their mature and scalable architecture to power fast, intelligent, enterprise-grade search.

Value to Customers

Our support for both industry and open standards offers the following advantages:

  • Integrates into existing infrastructure with minimal disruption

  • Enables data discovery across structured and unstructured sources

  • Facilitates interagency and cross-domain collaboration

  • Aligns with FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)

  • Promotes long-term sustainability and flexibility in data management

By embracing open standards and supporting widely used technologies, Voyager ensures that your data remains accessible, discoverable, and ready for analysis — regardless of where or how it's stored.
