Re: [AR Standards Discussion] I've created a Related Standards pagefor the group

Christine, 

A few more edits on http://www.perey.com/ARStandards/existing-standards/

In the location standards table.

Add OGC Open GeoSMS 
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/opengeosms

Add a remark for these standards: KML, WMS, GML, Open GeoSMS:
Implementation = http://www.opengeospatial.org/resource/products/byspec

Regards,
George
