ISO/TC 211

International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

ISO = equal World's largest developer of standards Network of national standards institutes from 165 countries

Established in 1946, operational in 1947 End of 1947, ISO granted Consultative Status by the UN Principal activity is developing technical standards

Technical Committees (TCs) From ISO/TC 1 Screw threads to ISO/PC 295 Audit data collection ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/geomatics

ISO/TC 211

The goal of ISO/TC 211...

... is to develop a family of international standards that will

support the understanding and usage of geographic information

increase the availability, access, integration, and sharing of geographic information, enable inter-operability of geospatially enabled computer systems

ease the establishment of geospatial infrastructures on local, regional and global level

contribute to a unified approach to addressing global ecological and humanitarian problems

contribute to sustainable development

ISO/TC 211

Formal scope of ISO/TC 211

Standardization in the field of digital geographic information.

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.

These standards may specify, for geographic information, methods, tools and services for data management (including definition and description), acquiring, processing, analyzing, accessing, presenting and transferring such data in digital/electronic form between different users, systems and locations.

This work shall link to appropriate standards for information technology and data where possible, and provide a framework for the development of sector-specific applications using geographic data.

Standards role – the INSPIRE case

More than 30 standards from ISO and OGC are underpinning the regulatory implementation of INSPIRE in 31 European countries

ISO/TC 211

State-of-the-art modeling using international standards – the INSPIRE case

precise data definitions – a pre-requisite for evidence-based decisions

authoritative data Implementation and adoption of standards for the global

geospatial information community Integration of geospatial, statistical and other information Application of geospatial information related to land

administration and management Knowledge base for geospatial information management

ISO/TC 211

Co-operation is the key

ISO/TC 211, OGC and IHO have been formally – and practically - co-operating since 1994.

They also benefit from a range of people working actively in across organizations.

A wide range of other organization are also closely in co-operation – DGIWG, UN FAO, UPU, ….
