The Wider Complementary Portfolio includes third party complementary products which use an OGC trade mark. These have been quality reviewed to ensure compliance of the material with the brand principles.
The nature of the OGC core products is such that they need to be interpreted and adapted for use. As a result of feedback from the marketplace, OGC-required products include all Core products and a restricted set of derived products. These derived products include introductions to the framework(s), specific pocketbooks covering key elements of the core framework and study guides in support of the emerging qualifications.
Listings of individuals and organisations that hold active OPSI licenses, whose material is incorporated within the wider complementary portfolio, can be found on OPSI's licensees list.
