Line 28:
SAIF was brought to the attention of Michael Stonebraker and Kenn Gardels of the University of California at Berkeley, and then to those working on the initial version of the Open Geospatial Interoperability Specification (OGIS), the first efforts of what became the [[Open Geospatial Consortium]] (OGC). A series of 18 submissions to the ISO SQL Multimedia working group also helped tie SAIF to the original ISO work on geospatial features.
 
Today SAIF is of historical interest only. It is significant as a precursor to the [[Geography Markup Language]] and as the formative element in the development of the widely used Feature Manipulation Engine.
