ISO/TC 211
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 range starting at 19101.
Project specification areas within the ISO/TC 211 technical committee include:
- Simple feature 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, and the two organizations have a working arrangement that often results in identical or nearly-identical standards often being adopted by both organizations.
