ISO/TC 211 Geographic information/Geomatics
ISO/TC 211 is a standard technical committee formed within ISO, tasked with covering the areas of digital geographic information (such as used by geographic information systems) and geomatics. It is responsible for preparation of a series of International Standards and Technical Specifications numbered in the number range starting at ISO-19101. The Chair of the committee was 1994-2016: Olaf Østensen; during 2017-2018: Christina Wasström; and from 2019 Agneta Gren Engberg.
Scope
[edit]ISO/TC 211 is concerned with the standardization in the field of digital geographic information.[1] This work aims to establish a structured set of standards for information concerning objects or phenomena that are directly or indirectly associated with a location relative to the Earth.
Project specification areas within the ISO/TC 211 technical committee include:
- Simple Features access
- Reference models
- Spatial and temporal schemas
- Location-based services
- Metadata
- Web feature and map services
- Classification systems
The ISO/TC 211 work is closely related to the efforts of the Open Geospatial Consortium. ISO/TC 211 have numerous liaisons with other organizations that often results in identical or nearly identical standards often being adopted by both organizations.[2]
Working Groups
[edit]The work within ISO/TC211 is done in working groups, each with a specific focus. The currently active working groups are:
- Working Group 1 - Framework and reference model[3]
- Working Group 4 - Geospatial services[4]
- Working Group 6 - Imagery[5]
- Working Group 7 - Information communities[6]
- Working Group 9 - Information management[7]
- Working Group10 - Ubiquitous public access[8]
There are also a number of disbanded Working Groups:[9]
- Working Group 2 - Geospatial data models and operators
- Working Group 3 - Geospatial data administration
- Working Group 5 - Profiles and functional standards
- Working Group 8 - Location based services
Revision of standards that were previously part of these working groups are now done directly under the TC since the disbandment of the groups.
