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
• 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

5
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.

Agreement ISO/TC 211 - OGC
Why cooperation ?

• common objectives
• similar work programmes
• complementary approach
• joining resources gives strength
• avoiding inconsistent standards - de jure / de
  facto / industrial
• and more

has led to establishment of a cooperative
agreement between ISO/TC 211 and several liaison
organizations
