ISO/TC 211 Geographic information/Geomatics November 2001 International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 211

What is ISO/TC 211? Standardization in the field of digital geographic information. 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. 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. 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.

Conclusion The goal of ISO/TC 211 is to develop a family of international standards that will support the understanding and usage of geographic information 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 increase the availability, access, integration, and sharing of geographic information, enable inter- operability of geospatially enabled computer systems and ease the establishment of geospatial infrastructures on local, regional and global level. and ease the establishment of geospatial infrastructures on local, regional and global level. … and cooperate with others in achieving this !

Thank you ! ISO/TC … building the foundation of the geospatial infrastructure, brick by brick...
