1. ISO/TC 211 Geographic information/Geomatics 2017-01
…building the foundation of the geospatial infrastructure, brick by brick ...

2. The goal of ISO/TC
… 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
contribute to a unified approach to addressing global ecological and humanitarian problems
ease the establishment of geospatial infrastructures on local, regional and global level
contribute to sustainable development

3. 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.
